Burmese Curry and Rice image

This sounds simple but is elegant and fun. If you like curry, you will like this. The recipe came from a missionary's daughter who grew up in Burma. When she grew up and came home to the United States she fashioned the ingredients to fit what was available to her. In Burma the people would eat mostly rice and if they had anything to go with the rice they were fortunate. She said that this is like a banquet meal for them. You will have most everything on hand for this meal. It is delicious. The flavors blend wonderfully well. Have some people in for dinner they will have fun preparing their plate.
