RICE FOR CURRY

Put your rice into boiling water with a little salt. Boil very fast for 15-20 mins. Put a few drops of lemon juice into the rice while boiling. It whitens it.

Pour rice into sieve, wash it well under a tap of cold water, then dry near fire. Turn it about with a wooden spoon, so as to dry and separate the grains.

Add raisins to any curry recipe, and you will find they will improve it a great deal.
To give a delicious flavour to a curry, add 1 Tablespoon raspberry jam just before serving!!!!
