If it was cooled straight away and has been in the fridge since then it should be fine to freeze/use today. Just make sure you remember when you come to use it that it'll need using up straight away and not sat around for long after it's thawed out

Remember, your nose will tell you if it's gone off so have a sniff and see

I don't think you got anything to worry about then and it's only been 48 hours which should be fine. I've had turkey in the fridge for several days (xmas) and we've never been ill eating it. Enjoy your korma!

If you are cooking it fully again (as in a curry) then it really doesn matter how long you have had it as long as it hasn't started rotting. As Curry-Queen says, smell it and see.

If you are stuck for ideas then make up the korma and freeze any that is left over for later. Alternatively any chicken recipe should work fine.
