, sorry. i have chicken curry on the brain. i used to work delivering chicken to chinese restaurants, it was scary seeing chicken that had thawed/froze a couple of times in the truck being dumped on dirt floors. makes me cringe since(i still eat it though )

We know what some shitty takeaways are like.but this is a renowned 1, n it's lamb not the fateful chicken...haha no pro's on here?.....

As long as it smells ok.

Sincerely though, many curries contain cream or butter (ghee) as a stock, so I would think 24 hours would be the maximum really. I certainly wouldn't be eating any after maybe 16 hours (i.e., lunch next day). Wouldn't worry about chicken though, there won't be salmonella if it's been cooked correctly.

as long as you don't microwave cook it, you would have been fine..

well my policy is this, ;better a clean cat than a dirty chicken;

its one thing chancing meat you've cooked yourself with your well washed hands when you know the hygiene situation in your kitchen, but restaurants are busy places and business is business............
