Steps:
- In a large saucepan bring 4 quarts water to a boil, stir in the rice and the salt, stirring until the water returns to a boil, and boil the rice for 10 minutes. Drain the rice in a large sieve and rinse it. Set the sieve over a large saucepan of simmering water and steam the rice, covered with a folded kitchen towel and the lid, for 15 minutes, or until it is fluffy and dry. Transfer the rice to a very large bowl and let it cool to lukewarm.
- In a small bowl whisk together 1 1/2 teaspoons of the curry powder, the vinegar, the oil, and salt to taste, add the vinaigrette to the rice, and toss the mixture well. Stir in the raisins and the cantaloupe. In a blender blend the yogurt, the chutney, and the remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder until the dressing is smooth, pour the dressing over the rice mixture, and toss the salad well. Chill the salad, covered, for 1 hour. The salad may be made 2 days in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the salad sprinkled with the peanuts.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Choose fresh, flavorful vegetables, and high-quality rice and spices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Curry powder is a blend of many different spices, so you can easily adjust the flavor of your dish by adding more or less of certain spices. For example, if you like a spicy dish, you can add more cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can add more turmeric or cumin.
- Cook the rice correctly: The rice is a key component of this dish, so it's important to cook it correctly. Be sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove any excess starch. Then, cook the rice according to the package directions. You can also add a little bit of salt to the water when cooking the rice to give it more flavor.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this dish should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The rice will start to absorb the curry sauce over time, so the dish will become less flavorful if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Curried rice with raisins is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its flavorful curry sauce, tender vegetables, and sweet raisins, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give curried rice with raisins a try.
