Mum's Curry and Rice

Submitted by Missy Wombat

"This is my favourite comfort food and now that I am a vegetarian I keep trying to perfect a vegetarian version. This curry is more like a mild onion stew but I have adored it since childhood. Whenever Mum asked what I wanted for Sunday lunch, this would be my request. I have always preferred to put just enough on my rice to dampen it so a little goes a long way. This recipe is even better heated up in a frypan with left over rice."
