Curry Flavor Bombs Recipe

These condensed flavor bombs are a way to get a head start on prep and make cooking a deeply flavorful curry easy to do on a weeknight. It's simple to make these when you have extra time. They make fast weeknight dishes layered and complex, but they are also very easy, taking just 30 minutes to whip up a whole batch. Toast a wonderful combination of classic curry spices and sautee them combined with onions, garlic, and ginger. Then freeze them in cupcake liners or ice cube trays. Later on, when you are ready to eat, just melt them with water in a pan and add some liquid like coconut milk or broth, a protein like chicken or chickpeas, and simmer it until cooked. This concept work with so many other foods. Try cooking, chopping and freezing a pound of bacon into flavor bombs, or sauteing onions in a lot of butter. We often do this with the onions, garlic, and spices for chili, and classic mirepoix, too. The best part is that they can be made ahead of time, frozen, and stored for up to a month, making dinner in a pinch much more manageable and also more delicious.
