Tips:

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Curry powder is a blend of many spices, so you can adjust the flavor of your dish by adding more or less of certain spices. For example, if you like a spicier dish, you could add more cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Cook the rice according to the package directions: This will ensure that the rice is cooked properly and not too mushy or undercooked.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much rice or vegetables to the pan, they will not cook evenly. Cook the rice and vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the curried rice immediately: This dish is best when served hot and fresh. However, you can also make it ahead of time and reheat it later.
