This was a household staple growing up. All the toppings are estimates and probably overshoot the real volumes. This was a household staple growing up. All the toppings are estimates and probably overshoot the real volumes.

Tips

You may choose to try turkey or shrimp instead. We tried this once with Krab. Just...don't. That is all.


Directions

Cook rice and lentils according to package directions and soak raisins in warm water. Meanwhile, melt butter and saute onion with curry powder in a large skillet. Blend in flour and other seasonings. Stir and simmer until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in broth and milk, then add protein. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly then simmer for one minute. Add lemon juice, then spoon over half rice, half lentil base.
Serve condiments at the table and allow diners to top their curry to their liking.
