How To Make Curry Rice Recipes

CRISPY RICE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
• Place the rice in a large bowl, rinse with cold water and drain in a colander until the water runs totally clear. Drain well.
• Add the rice to the pot and boil until the grains are soft on the outside but still hard at the center, about 6 minutes. Drain the rice and rinse under cold water.
• Measure out 1 1/4 cups of the parcooked rice and transfer to a bowl; stir in the yogurt, the 1 tablespoon melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Melt the oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter together over medium-low heat in a 2- to 3-quart nonstick pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add the yogurt rice and spread it evenly to cover the bottom of the pot. Add the remaining rice, mounding it into a pyramid shape. Insert the handle of a wooden spoon into the mound 3 or 4 times to make vents for steam to escape. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the rice starts to steam, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot, first with a clean towel and then with a lid. Steam until the rice is fully cooked and a golden brown crust has formed on the bottom, about 50 minutes.
• Spoon the loose rice onto a platter, then use a firm spatula to remove the crust from the pan. Top the rice with the crust and sprinkle with the parsley and sumac if using. Serve immediately.

EASY CURRY RICE

Steps:

• Stir the rice, water, and curry powder together in a rice cooker; cook for 1 full cycle or until all the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

CURRY FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the beaten egg and swirl the pan; let set, then transfer to a plate. Add the scallions to the pan along with the curry powder and pepper to taste; stir-fry 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice; spread in an even layer and cook 3 minutes. Add the egg, and salt to taste; stir to break up the egg. Drizzle with the sesame oil.

CURRY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook the onion and celery until the onion is slightly tender, about 3 minutes; stir in mushrooms, and cook 1 more minute, stirring often. Mix in the package of rice mix and water; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Mix the golden mushroom soup, sour cream, and curry powder together in a bowl. Stir about 1 1/2 cup of the soup mixture into the rice, reserving 1/2 cup of soup mixture for later. Spread the rice mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, and arrange over the rice. Cover the chicken thighs with the reserved 1/2 cup of soup mixture. Sprinkle the casserole with Parmesan cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken thighs are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 50 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

JAPANESE CURRY RICE

Steps:

• If making the garam masala combined 1 tsp ground cloves, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Place in an air tight container and put aside.(Note: You will not be using all of this in the recipe.).
• Start by cutting your choice of meat, the potatoes, carrots, and onion (or celery) into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat a deep pan on medium.
• Add the cooking oil and the meat.
• Saute until the meat is fully cooked.
• Add vegetables and saute together.
• Add the 1 cup of water to the pan and bring to a boil.
• Turn the heat down to low and cook for 40-50 minutes.
• In a separate pan heat the 3 cups of water and add the two types of bouillon to make soup.
• Slice the remaining two onions very thinly. (it will be better for the recipe this way).
• Heat butter in another pan and saute onion slices until they are brown for 15-20 minutes.
• Add the garlic and the ginger to the pan and saute well.
• Add flour and curry powder and saute over low heat.
• Slowly pour the soup into the pan, little by little, stirring quickly.
• Simmer the curry roux until thickened. (Resist the urge to add more flour. It may seem a little thinner than desired, but it will thicken once added to the meat and vegetables.).
• Once the curry roux is thickened, add the garam masala. (Try to sprinkle it in, instead of dumping the lot of it inches If there are clumps, it will take longer to dissolve).
• After the meat and vegetables have been cooking for 40-50 minutes add the curry roux to them. (Do not drain the meat and vegetables first. The water remaining will flavor the curry further).
• Stir and let simmer for ten minutes.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Serve the curry over Japanese rice.

SUPER SIMPLE, SUPER QUICK CHICKEN CURRY AND RICE

Steps:

• Dissolve chicken base in hot water (skip this step if using stock).
• Pour dissolved base/stock in 2" deep pan.
• Add chicken to pan and place on medium-high heat.
• Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT rice.
• Cook chicken uncovered, stirring often to coat with spices.
• Remove chicken from heat and cover to keep warm. You will use the liquid from the pan in the next step.
• Add rice to separate pan and prepare as directed, BUT instead of using water to cook, add the drippings from the chicken pan. I usually get about 1/2 cup of drippings and then top that off with the water necessary to cook the rice. The rice I use needs 1 1/3 cup of water for 1/2 cup uncooked rice. This will yield 2 cups of cooked rice.
• When rice is finished cooking, spoon rice back into chicken pan and place on medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

CURRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute rice and onion in butter for 5 minutes. Stir in broth and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 18-22 minutes or until rice is tender.

CINNAMON CURRY RICE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, bring the cinnamon and water to a boil. Simmer, partly covered, until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 30 minutes. Strain the cinnamon, and reserve the liquid.
• In a heavy casserole or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of oil until hot, add the curry powder and the onion, and cook over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add the flour, and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken broth, heat until boiling, and add the carrot, apple and potatoes. Partly cover, and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
• Heat a wok or a saute pan, add the remaining oil, and heat until hot. Add the garlic and pork, and cook over high heat, stirring until pork changes color. Remove garlic and pork with a slotted spoon.
• When the vegetables are tender, add the pork and cinnamon liquid. Turn up the heat, and cook for 20 minutes. Add salt and pepper, and serve over hot rice.

CURRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cook onion and garlic in oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add curry powder and rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add water and salt and boil, uncovered, without stirring, until surface of rice is covered with steam holes and grains on top appear dry, about 8 minutes.
• Reduce heat to as low as possible, then cover pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook 15 minutes more.
• Remove pan from heat and let rice stand, covered, 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

CURRIED RICE

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium heat, and add to it the black pepper and white pepper. Toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the curry powder, shake again and toast for 1 minute more. Scrape the toasted-curry-powder blend into a small bowl using a rubber spatula, and set aside.
• Add the oil to the skillet, and swirl it around. When it shimmers, add the curry leaves, and fry, 1 minute. Stir in 4 tablespoons butter. When it melts, add the shallots and garlic. Lower the heat, and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are soft and translucent, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Raise the heat to medium. Stir in the toasted-curry-powder blend, followed by 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce and the sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add habanero to taste, then adjust the levels of soy sauce and oyster sauce if you want to go a little saltier or sweeter. Scrape the curry paste into the small bowl.
• To finish the dish, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet, and heat over medium-high. When the butter melts and foams, flake the rice into it, and allow it to crisp slightly, then stir a few heaping tablespoons of curry paste into the rice to season to taste. Finish with lime juice to taste, and serve with lime wedges alongside fried fish, stewed chicken, goat or lamb, or just on its own. Transfer remaining curry paste to a lidded container. Let cool, cover and refrigerate up to 1 month.
