If you don’t follow my blog yet then you have missed a lot so stop by day 1, 2, 3 and 4 before continuing to this one. So to finish off my list of recipes, I am happy to share with you this quick and easy curried vegetable rice.

Ingredients

• 2 Cups rice

• Add a tablespoon of tomato paste stir and then in go your thawed veggies and stir once again.
• Check for seasoning and add salt to taste and now add your rice and stir once again.
• Pour in your water, stir, reduce heat and then cover..
• Stir once again to combine the veggies with the rice and cook until all water is absorbed, taste to check if rice is done.
• Serve and enjoy.

Note: I used basmati rice which I have tried before but depending on your type or brand of rice, some cook differently so know your rice brand and get one that doesn’t turn out starchy, the rule still remains for every one cup of rice add 2 cups of water, I also use hot water to save time.
