How to prepare Curry rice

To prepare curry rice, first rinse the basmati rice under running water 1, then pour it into a pot 2 along with the water 3 and salt.

Cover with a lid 4 and bring to a boil. When the water starts to boil, lower the heat and cook for about 8 minutes. In the meantime, clean and slice the leek into rounds 5, then chop the chili peppers after removing the seeds 6.

At this point, the rice will be cooked, so turn off the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes 7. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan, add the leek 8 and the chili pepper 9 and stew them over low heat for about 5-6 minutes.

Add the peas 10 and the curry 11, mix well and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, adjusting the salt 12.

Now add the rice 13, stir to combine everything, and leave on the heat for another 1-2 minutes 14. Your curry rice is ready to be served 15!

Storage

Curry rice can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days in an airtight container. Freezing is not recommended.

Tip

You can enrich curry rice with dried fruits such as cashews or peanuts! Instead of leeks, you can use fresh spring onions. Check the amount of water and cooking time for basmati rice according to the instructions on the package as they may vary depending on the type.
