1 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 medium onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon curry powder, plus more for garnish

Looks delicious but a bit too spicy for me. Maybe I'll try it with less chili next time.

It was okay. I think I needed to add more spices or something because it was a bit bland for my taste.
