Please could anyone help me... i have to make a rice salad for a wedding in the weekend and cannot find mine... mmmm. . think mine used to have curry in it? ?
There's a nice selection of rice salads there, including several that have curry powder in them.
Good luck - hope all goes well for both the wedding prep and the wedding itself. :-))

Also one that is completely different but a real refreshing to have... .
**** Wild Rice Salad ****
This is lovely and something totally different yet very nice.
Now if one is using a mix of Wild rice then the cooking time is altered to say about 35 to 40 minutes mainly as some variety will get pretty close to being overcooked whilst the black wild rice will just be al dente, that is just biteable to taste.
1 Cup Wild Rice (preferably all black rice but a blended mix is very nice also), 2 large unpeeled red apples diced, 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 2 celery stems chopped, ½ cup plain yoghurt, and ¼ cup thick creamy mayonnaise.
Put the rice into 3 cups of boiling water salted to taste on a heavy saucepan. Simmer covered for 50 – 60 minutes or just until the kernels puff open. Remove lid and fluff up with fork. Simmer for an extra 5 minutes. Drain rice.
If done in a Preassure Cooker, for black wild rice, allow 15 to 20 minutes on high, then release and cool then drain rice. (My Preassure Cooker is a "Fagor Duo" comes with a S/S steamer basket, ideal for cooking rice, keeps it off the bottom of cooker).
Toss apples with brown sugar and lemon juice/vinegar. Stir in celery and rice. Blend together the yoghurt and mayo then add and toss with salad ingredients. Chill for at least 4 hours plus (preferably overnight) before serving.

YES, YES, YES - my Aunt made a rice salad that fed our wedding (next day after party). It was huge, fed alot and was lovely. No curry though but a lot of seeds. Do you think you would be interested? ? ? ? ?
