This rice dish is a wonderful combination of sweet and spicy.If you like a mild curry flavour use less curry powder.This is excellent with lamb or beef, but would go well with other meats too.

I didn't have any apricots on hand, so I used dried cranberries instead. They worked just as well.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think I just added too much curry powder.
