Curry Rice
Curry rice is a popular Indian and Southeast Asian dish, enriched with spices and vegetables. The fragrant basmati rice and the warming curry create a perfectly harmonious flavor profile. The addition of coconut milk gives the dish a soft, creamy texture, while the turmeric and ginger lend it a distinctive aroma. Curry rice is an excellent side dish to Indian curries or grilled meats, but it can also stand on its own as a complete meal.
