I don't know where my mom found this recipe, but I remember eating it when I was little. This is a great recipe for when you don't have time to watch everything in the kitchen, but it's nice enough that I've served it to company!

Ingredients

Directions

  • Heat water, onion, butter, curry powder, and salt in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Stir rice into onion mixture and arrange frozen white fish over rice. Sprinkle with almonds.

  • Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fish should be heated through, and the flesh should be opaque and flake easily. Mix in peas and fluff rice with a fork before serving.

Really great recipe! I followed it more closely than I normally do with recipes but I did make a couple of minor adjustments...I more than doubled the amount of (spicy) curry powder because we like strong flavors substituted extra virgin olive oil for the butter (next time I might try coconut oil instead to add a hint of sweetness) and I cooked the rice and pea mixture on the stovetop and broiled the tilapia fillets with the almonds on the top rack of my oven. Other than that I followed it exactly and was extremely happy with how it turned out...even my picky(ish) seven year old ate a whole plate of it!

I tried this recipe and loved how easy it was to prepare and it was very tasty. I cooked as directed but made some addirions/changes. I increased the following: onion 1/2 cup 1 cup rice 2 TBS curry powder. I added the following: 1 TSP onion powder 1/2 TSP garlic powder and 1/2 packet of Sazon. Fantastic and quick!

Had to create an account to rate this recipe. I barely ever use recipes and usually just make my own but this is what I live for. The easiest meals that are nutritious and simple to cook. Great easy recipe only thing I tweaked was curry powder because I love lots of spice. This can probably be done in rice cooker too.

LOVED THIS!! So easy to make and my whole family loved it! Definitely add more curry. I doubled this and used talapia. Can't say enough about this recipe. Very good!!

I made this with canned peas and carrots since that's the only veg I had on hand other than fresh. I followed the recipe but found I needed to add more salt. Maybe seasoning the fish first would help but overall I liked it and would make it again (and my hubby liked it too and he hates trying new things!!!)

Thoroughly enjoyed the recipe. I followed the modifications listed by Tam in the reviews 2 tbs curry powder 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1 packet low sodium Sazon with culantro and achiote. I also added 1/8 tsp ginger 1/8 tsp white pepper 1 red bell pepper 1 green bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper and more onions. I also ut in a dash of smoked paprika for added flavor. I used tilapia as my fish and marinated it in a soy vinaigrette before cooking. It came out really tasty and very tender.
