Loved by a teen and a small child, hubby said too sweet. This was amazing considering it was our first vegetarian dish and a hit with the kids. I used microwave pouch rice and used 1c water and simmered 15 minutes. Great flavor and very aromatic.
This was very yummy! When I make it again, I'll use less water for the curry and no lemon juice as that gave an unpleasant flavor to the curry. But otherwise, the two together were wonderful and a fantastic way to use up some mint from my Aerogarden!
We thought each part of the dish (rice and curry parts) were okay separate, but definitely were YUMMY together. These need to be made for the same meal and eaten in the same spoonful.We used 1/8th tsp of the ginger because we only had ground ginger; and it was not over-powering (and I really don't like powdered ginger). Also used 2 Tbsp dried peppermint leaves instead of the fresh mint.My husband said he could taste the mint, but I could only _feel_ it - at the junction of my nasal passage and my mouth. It was a wonderfully aromatic feeling.Great dish Jemima! Thanks to your son for submitting it!!!
I'm a huge meat eater and this was a nice suprise. My 4 year old loved it. I followed the directions and it turned out delicious. I'm going to be making this one again.
Perfect weeknight vegetarian dish.

This recipe took me back to when I used to work for an Indian doctor and his wife as a nanny. They would always make extra when cooking so I could experience their foods and this was just wonderul.
