""In this rice dish, green onions give great color, raisins bring a touch of sweetness and almonds add crunch. I think you'll agree the mild curry flavor pleases all palates. --Lee Bremson, Kansas City, Missouri." Courtesy of Taste of Home Magazine"

This was the recipe I have been searching for, for SO LONG! I had this at someone's place once and I loved it. The ingredient combination makes such a unique taste! I made a double batch and it fed 6 adult and 6 kids. I barely had any left over and nearly everyone had seconds with lots of compliments and one recipe request. I had it with a Roasted Chicken, squash, carrots, corn, buns and salad. Thanks for posting Juenessa!
