Rice is one of our favourite carbohydrates, besides pasta and potatoes. I prefer basmati rice because it’s easy to cook and it tastes awesome too. Winter has come to an end (hopefully). I saw a forecast for snow for sometime next week and almost hit the roof. How is the weather wherever you are? Ours is rain, rain, rain and some more rain, but the temperatures are awesome. I wish you are very pleasant week. Times are busy for me, so infrequent posting, every now and again.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan or skillet. Add the rice and cook for about 3 minutes, then add the curry powder and turmeric and continue cooking for another 1 minute.
Add the corn and peas
and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
Add the water, season, with salt and pepper and bring to a rolling boil. Cover the pot, reduce the heat, and simmer 12 minutes without lifting the lid. Turn of heat and let stand for another 10 minutes (do not lift the lid).
Fluff the rice
and serve.

Looks like a fun recipe! Curry powder, yum. Where are you getting snow? We are doing well in Minnesota with 60s this week. Though there’s no guarantee we don’t have another good blizzard in us until we’re safely into summer. Weather is a funny thing.
Yep forecast for snow in my little city this Friday. The temperature with fall to 24. Now its 48. Thanks for visiting my blog. Do have a lovely weekend!
