I made this curry. Man, does it rock or what? It was excellent. I'm not one for attempting to make curry dishes from scratch. They never taste very good. Too much turmeric or somesuch. Anyway, I found this stuff at Safeway and it is so great, I can hardly stand it. I cubed an eggplant, diced some chicken breast (raw), chopped some yellow onion, and sautèed the whole thing up with olive oil. Cook until all lightly browned, add about 2 cups of water, let boil, add curry mix and voilà! Curry magic at your fingertips. I also made this rice. Mind you, I'm half Hawaiian, rice is like, oh I dunno, Wonder bread to some households. I've never not had white rice in my life. It's a state of being. Anyway, there was a blip of rice leftover from last night. I threw it in a pan with about a 1/2 c. H2O and a tsp. butter (yes, the real kind), salt and this peppercorn grinder medley that I ADORE made by McCormick. Anyhow, heat through and stir. Finely chop a handful of cilantro, and through it in the rice as you are about to serve. It was so meraviglioso. But then I love cilantro. Some people hate it. "Not I," said the blind man as a he took a hammer and saw. It was a strange mix of flavors, curry & cilantro, but that's how I get ides for cooking. I make it up, see how something tastes on its own merit and then tuck it in the back of my chef's head for future reference when I need a quickie meal. ::note:: rice dish an excellent use for that Chinese takeout box of rice that sits in the fridge for 3 days and then gets tossed because no one will eat it. Recycle. It's good for our landfills.
