My all-time favorite rice dish is curry rice. Who can ever get enough of great curry rice?
I always use the hot curry mix. You can actually add whatever vegetables you have on hand like petite peas, red or green pepper, broccoli, or even cauliflower. If using broccoli or cauliflower from a head (not a frozen bag), I suggest cutting up the head and steaming the florets for a just a few minutes to make sure they aren’t too crunchy.
Just always include the potatoes because they add subtle flavor that allows the curry seasoning to take center stage.
Tonight front and center is the curry rice I love so take a listen to “There is No Greater Love” sung by Billie Holiday.
