Very tasty recipe. I did have to substitute fresh tomatoes with 1 can of diced tomatoes and used the liquid as part of the 2 cups of liquid required. I also did not have curry and made a substitute of 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp corriander. After using the same amount of this concoction as the curry called for in this recipe, I have about 1.5 tbsp left. The rice was super tasty. I added the tomato and chicken broth liquid (to equal the 2 cups of liquid called for in the recipe) to the sauteed onions and rice without heating it first and it was fine. Will definitely make this again. than you Raveneyes! -
This certainly does make plenty, I initially used it as side dish, froze the remainder, and later defrosted it and used it to make fried rice, very successfully! I used the curry powder, and a 410 gr tin of tomatoes, which was not too much. This could easily be scaled down, but I liked the fact that it made plenty, its always convenient to have cooked rice in fridge or freezer and this is pleasantly spiced, easily adapted for a variety of dishes. Thanks, Ravenseyes! Made for Vegetarian Swap#12 -
A pleasant basic side dish for sure! I tried it with curry powder which gave it a faint tint and just a hint of flavour. I love all the black pepper, but if you don't, be warned. This would also be nice with fresh herbs in place of curry. I halved this for my hubby and I...makes plenty. Good recipe to keep!
