Curried Rice Pilaf

This recipe has been contributed by Becky who like me loves cooking good food, especially for the family. You can find more of Becky's recipes, as well as finding out more about her, at her website.

This is what Becky said about this recipe:

"Browning the rice slightly makes all the difference in this delicious side dish. It gives the rice a wonderful nutty flavor. There's a beautiful combination of flavors in this dish."
