Notes
- Curry: I had Madras curry, which is very flavorful but only mildly hot. You can use any curry mixture you like and adjust the amount according to taste. If the curry is very hot, you might want to use a smaller amount.
- Rice: Basmati and jasmine rice are great, but plain long-grain rice is also great. Basmati and jasmine usually need about 10 minutes of cooking time, while other sorts of long-grain rice might need 12 to 15 minutes. Check the packet's instructions on the matter and prolong the cooking time accordingly.
