CURRIED RICE WITH RAISINS
My friend Cara and I needed a side dish one night and all I could think of was a curry dish I'd had at a local (Manhattan) Tai resturant. I could not find anything that was exactly right in the recipes already posted so I made this up. It was soooooooo good I now have to make it everytime we have dinner!!

BEEF CURRY WITH APPLES AND RAISINS
I experimented with curry powder this winter, while trying to add some new flavors into my culinary life. This recipe became a favorite way to enjoy beef. It's a mild, sweet curry with savory undertones. I've served it with both brown rice and couscous, and actually prefer the couscous. It takes some "simmer time" on the stove, but it's worth it!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your dish. Choose fresh, flavorful rice, raisins, and spices.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking: This will remove any dirt or debris and help the rice cook evenly.
- Toast the spices before using them: This will help to release their flavor and aroma.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the rice: This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
- Stir the rice frequently while cooking: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and fluff up.
- Garnish the rice with fresh herbs or nuts before serving: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
