Curried Rice and Ham

Submitted by Chef Mindi

"This is very good. Not very spicy, so you may want to adjust the curry to your liking. My stomach does not tolerate spicy things well, so you may want to add more depending on how tough your stomach is. lol. I love the taste of curry and it goes well with the ham. My Husband cleaned his plate and went for seconds on this one."

This was good, but not exactly what I was expecting. I doubled the curry and diced the ham so it would be easier to serve. I thought the parsley flavor was too strong, but my husband enjoyed it.
