What to serve with curry instead of rice!

Comments

  • I love curry with mash ~ chilli n mash is great too. Okay, I just like mash. Seriously though, it's yummy, all the sauce soaked into the potatoes, scrum.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.
  • Diced sauteed potatoes and onion, fried until soft.

    ;) Felines are my favourite ;)

    Use them to scoop up the curry with your hands, yum yum.

    I'm not a fan of boiled rice so while the rest of the family have rice with curry, I always have mine served with a baked potato and a good knob of butter.

    Do you have any noodles? this is always a popular choice in our house but as others have said you can't beat curry and chips

    Do you have cauliflower by any chance? It makes a surprisingly good substitute for rice - cook it until it is falling apart and a bit more, squeeze the water out in a tea towel and mash it up with a fork. The water takes a bit of squeezing, (so best left to cool until you can handle it) but you need it fairly dry or it makes your curry watery. This was a trick we used when we were doing the Atkins diet. It is quite nice, actually!
    Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!
  • Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

    I actually ended up making lasagne as I got home and discovered there was no yoghurt so in actual fact all I had was curry paste :D So I gave it up as a bad job

    But it'll be back on the menu next week with some of these fab ideas!
