I've made this several times now, and my whole family really likes it. I've made it with both white rice and brown rice and they're both good. I double the curry powder and garlic, halve the butter, and omit the raisins. I also like to add some veggies. (a grated carrot or two, some broccoli, etc. Love the almonds - this is a great recipe!

This was great! I made it as written, except I had only wal-mart brand smokie almonds to use. I thought it would be too salty, however, it was wonderful. Thanks for such a great side dish.

I ended up not using the exact measurements as stated in the recipe, but it definitely was great as a guide in terms of doing something different with rice. I browned the garlic and onion on the stove and to save time, put rice in my rice cooker with vegetable stock, curry powder, apricot, cashews, the cooked garlic and onions and avoila! Everybody loved it!

I loved this dish! Instead of green onions I used white onions. I doubled the curry powder. I added a cup of chick peas to make it more filling. And, I added the raisins in with the rice and broth to cook and soften.

HELPFUL TIPS: A can of broth has 2C and since this is usually for my husband & toddlers, I halve the recipe using 3/4C rice and 3/4th a can of broth. That way I don't have to open up a second can. For 2 picky toddlers, they give this 2 thumbs up! What kid can resist rice (which is a lot like their baby food) if it contains craisins! I like them better than plain ol raisins. Also, instead of going through trouble of toasting almonds, I use "Almond Accents" found next to salads or dressings at the store. Any flavor (they have ranch, honey flavored, etc) works very well and they're already toasted and sliced! Not to mention you can use the rest of the bag to top your salads. Outside of that, this definitely needs a T of curry (used almost 2tsp if you halve the recipe), and I prefer using half oil, half butter b/c the rice turns out better and cooks the curry like other indian dishes require (for 5 minutes constant stirring). Also can do this in one pot by adding it all in while browning rice except broth, almonds, craisins.

This recipe was wonderful, I added more garlic and more curry, just personal preference. With those changes it had lots of flavor, this will be a staple in my house.

I made this recipe with olive oil instead of butter and without the raisins and almonds (we're very plain like that). I also added Jennie-O Turkey Sweet Italian Sausage for some protein to make this an entree. It came out amazing! Will def make again and share with friends and family.

This was delish. I used brown rice instead of white and olive oil instead of butter. I also added mushrooms. It was really good. The almonds added a really good crunch.

This was just okay. I would try it again as a base, but it needs a lot of work. It has so much potential for more flavor.

This recipe is absolutely amazing! I made this dish for dinner with our Christmas goose. They complemented each other perfectly! Also, my husband and sister-in-law said they didn't like curry. But they loved this! They both said it was their favorite side dish!

I'm giving this a four just because i don't think this would have been nearly as good without my modifications. I used olive oil instead of butter, more curry powder, more rice, a dash of nutmeg, added the raisins in while it cooked and then tossed it with already made made honey roasted almonds after

This recipe was amazing. I added a bit more curry for more flavor but besides that it was perfect. Will add this to more more favorite side dishes. For you health nuts....try using a multi grain rice and cut back on the butter.

This was absolutely delightful. A few modifications I made: Added some chopped turkey as well as green pepper, so it made this a bit more of an entree dish. I also added a bit of cumin. Turned out I didn't have enough rice as well, so I did half rice and half barley, meaning I cooked this for slightly longer then the recipe called for. I just finished off the last of it tonight, and wish I'd made more!

This is not terrible...but not wonderful either. It seems to be missing some sort of *BAM* flavor. I may increase the salt and maybe some more spice. Sort of bland.

I really liked this. Had to add an extra teaspoon of curry powder to increase the flavour and added an extra cup of water. The flavour was subtle and the raisins (I used crasins) added just the right amount of sweetness.

The recipe as stated was a great inspiration but needed tweaking. A quarter cup of butter was way too much butter; I used a little over 1 Tbsp. and it was plenty. I sauteed the almond slivers with the onion to save a step, and added another 1/2 tsp. of curry powder. For a more Mediterranean feel, I used dates instead of raisins, and added diced persimmon, frozen peas, and diced chicken. NOTE: This made WAY more than 4 servings; more like 8-10, especially if used as a side dish. Half of it made enough for three adults as a main dish, with leftovers. Thanks for the idea!
