Dear Mamta, I am about to make your delicious afghan chicken curry and wondered if i could freeze it at the marinading stage. Would it be OK or do you think the yoghurt wouldn't do well in the freezer.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks very much

Bridget

I am not sure, I don't think I have frozen chicken at marinating stage for a curry. I do that with tandoori chicken sometimes, if I have bought the chicken fresh/chilled, not defrosted one.

How about bringing it to a brisk boil for a few minutes, but not wait until it is tender, and then freezing it? Perhaps less risk of salmonella this way!

Mamta

Would the yoghurt split if frozen ?

Probably, especially if it is low fat.

Thank you both for your thoughts - plan abandoned! Its so lovely to be able to ask questions of an expert. Thanks, Mamta for a wonderful and invaluable site.
