Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon curry powder, preferably Madras
1 cup long-grain brown rice, rinsed well
2 1/2 cups water
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
1 cup halved red seedless grapes
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint
1/3 cup coarsely chopped roasted unsalted cashews
Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add curry powder; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Stir in rice and the water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover; simmer until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, about 1 hour. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.
Step 2
Fluff with a fork; transfer to a shallow bowl. Stir in lime juice and remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in grapes, mint, and cashews.
