INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup rice per person
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 handfuls almonds, roughly chopped (or peanuts work well)
1 small can corn
2 or 3 dessertspoons mayonnaise
salt and pepper

METHOD:
Put the rice into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a frying pan on a low heat with a trickle of olive oil. Gently fry the almonds until they are lightly toasted. It is important to take them off the heat before they are too brown as they will continue cooking once they are off the heat. Sprinkle the nuts over the rice.
Drain the corn and add to the rice and almonds.
Sprinkle over the curry powder and add the mayonnaise. Mix well. Taste for seasoning and serve.
