Tastes Great Recipe: Curry Rice with Peas - Future Expat

One of my favorite spices has always been curry. Not the hot spicy curry you get with Thai or Indian dishes, but the sweet yellow curry sold in American grocery stores.

Tastes Great Recipe: Curry Rice with Peas - Future Expat

So when I discovered a recipe for curry rice, I knew it was something I would like.

I don’t make a lot of rice even though I do like it. Rice is so healthy compared to other starches that get served alongside main dishes – potatoes or pasta. I wish I could say I eat a lot of rice, but I don’t. When I do make rice, it’s often this recipe.

The last time I made it, I decided to make it even healthier and give it a bit of Caribbean style by adding peas. Feel free to leave out the peas if you don’t like them.
