Notes
- You can also use seeds or whole spices in place of the ground ones.
- *It's up to you if you want to remove the cinnamon sticks, lime leaves, and lemongrass before serving. You don't want to eat them, but they make for a pretty presentation.

- Storage Info:
- Store the Indonesian Chicken Curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days for optimal freshness. To freeze, place it in a sealed container for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight. To reheat, gently warm it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, heating in intervals and stirring in between, to ensure even warming without overcooking.
