This is very tasty and well liked by the whole family. I use microwave rice to speed the process up a little. You can mix up the quantities and types of vegetables you add to suit your preferences and what you have in the cupboard .

I have cooked this many many times and it is always a hit. I like things spicer so I tend to switch the mild curry powder for hot.
