REHEAT AND EAT: MAKE-AHEAD STEWS AND BRAISES

STAGGER THE VEGETABLES

A great vegetable curry should feature a variety of perfectly tender vegetables, but different vegetables need different cooking times. So we added them to the curry in stages, starting with hearty potatoes. To keep the cauliflower from ending up mushy, we added it off the heat on the first day so it would soak up flavor overnight. Then we stirred in the delicate peas just before serving.
