"Without the curry, boiled rice can be very dull."
- C. Northcote Parkinson, Author
This recipe is a great way to use your leftover coconut rice. I love this recipe because it is a great way to plan your week. One night serve a dish with coconut rice, like Chicken Satay or Pork Chops with Black Bean and Pickapeppa Sauce, and make extra. Put it in the fridge for a great salad later in the week.
