The Christmas left over curry

The Christmas left over curry has become as traditional as the turkey and pigs on blankets of the big day.

This is not surprising given that virtually every house in the kingdom has cooked to much meat and vegetables than the family needs for that one day.
I cooked both a turkey tikka masala curry and a separate vegetable madras

 they were served with a coconut to e and a lemon rice. Made the vegetable curry hotter to cater for different palates. I always prefer a spicier curry ! The kids loved the turkey tikka masala and it was a fantastic way to use those Christmas dinner left overs . Any left over curry also makes an ideal jacket potato filling. 
Nothing beats a jacket potato wrapped in foil then cooked in the dying embers of a real fire.
