Curried Vegetable Pie With Rice Crust

Submitted by Bungy

"This is quite a simple pie to make; more like a quiche in look I guess. A friend brought this over just after I'd had my second baby and I asked her for the recipe as soon as we'd tasted it. My 3 y.o. loves it too (with less curry powder) Don't be too precious about the ingredients - just add whatever veg you have on hand."

These are the worst instructions I have ever found on recipezaar. However, doing my best to figure them out, the recipe turned out alright. The cooking time seems to need to be much longer. There needs to be much more rice for a 9 inch pan. Don't plan on using large vegetables, as they won't fit in the pan. Thanks for sharing.

I thought it was pretty good! Especially since I really dislike eggs, the curry in it covers them up. I would definitely make this again, but with a crunchy crust.
