Skip the plastic / margarine and use butter. Better for one's health and a taste boost no less.
I made this as a stuffing for baked squash. I added raisins with the lemon and let it sit for a while to plump up the raisins before filling the baked squash. I popped the whole thing back in the oven for a few minutes and garnished with the parsley.

Great recipe, and quick. We've made the same recipe with celery also mixed in, and I bet you can sneak in a number of veggies. We usually don't both with the chicken broth (use water), parsley, and lemon rind. Recipe is still great. Thanks to the original poster for a quick/easy/tasty/healthy side.

Very moist and colorful. Personally, I would have added half again as much curry to make it a little more "curry-ish". Did not have fresh lemon,so added bottled lemon juice. Fresh would have been better. This makes a LOT of rice. Fed a family of six and had plenty left over. All four kids (ages 17-9) gave it a thumbs up. Served it under baked, breaded fish and asaparagus.
