Recipe Tips

If you don't have a rice cooker, you can cook the rice on the stovetop. Simply combine the rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. You can also add other vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, peas, or mushrooms. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Leftover curry can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
