Directions
Prepare the brown rice.
Put rice in a big pot, add 1 ¾ cups of water for every cup of rice, bring to a boil, cover, lower the heat on very low, let simmer for 45 minutes, take off heat and keep covered for at least another 10 minutes.
Prepare onions and curry oil.
In a large saucepan put ¼ cup of olive oil on medium high heat.
Add a couple heaping tablespoons of curry paste (if it is mild) or add a couple of tablespoons of mild curry powder.
Add a dash of chili pepper and cumin and a few drops of sesame oil if you have it.
Let the curry simmer for a minute.
Add the chopped yellow onion and cook until translucent.
Mix rice and onions.
In a large mixing bowl, put in the hot rice and then fold in the onions with the curry infused oil in which they were cooked.
You'll need to use a strong wooden spoon to mix.
Taste test the rice at this point.
If it needs more curry flavor, heat some more curry powder, chili, and cumin in olive oil for a few minutes and add to the rice to desired spiciness.
Add other ingredients to taste - cilantro, raisins, apple, celery, snow peas, bell pepper, green onions.
Add a couple tablespoons of honey.
Add a dash of salt to taste.
