I first made this dish ages ago when I first moved out of my parents' house and needed to somehow feed myself!  I love this dish because it's quick and delicious - in the time that it takes to cook the rice, the curry will be ready to serve on top of it.  It's my go-to recipe when I have to feed guests on short notice or with little time to prepare.
