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!!

- Add curry, raisins, salt and pepper, cover and simmer on low heat until rice is finished or about 5 minutes.
- If rice pan is large enough, mix it around with a wooden spoon to losen then pour mixture in skillet over the top. If not, transfer rice and curry mix to a larger bowl.
- Mix well and enjoy.
