Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium or large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the onions, pepper and carrots and sauté until the onions are soft.

  4. Continue to cook over medium low heat until the curry is hot.

Notes

This recipe is great to use leftover rice (of course fresh rice is best). If your rice is leftover and hard, add more water if needed to make sure the rice is soft and moist enough.

Add a little more water if the rice sticks to the bottom of the pan.

You can also use cooked white rice for this recipe.
