Chefs Tip:
When you make a large batch of food the best way for it to cool down is split into batches immediately. Place the curry into 4 plastic containers and fill place them in a clean sink. Surround them with ice and fill the sink with cold water just under the level of the plastic containers. This will cool the mixes quickly. Then cover with a lid and stick labels onto the lids, describing what has been made and the date you made them. Food is usually good for 3/6 months in the freezer.
