    From the Test Kitchen

    Chefs! We’re bringing you a series of recipes designed with ease of cooking and cleanup in mind, but without sacrificing the incredible flavors you’ve come to expect from a classic Blue Apron meal. In this dish, our beef and carrots get dynamic flavor from the savory Indian tomato achaar they cook with in the pan. It’s all served over a bed of vadouvan rice, then brought together by toppings of creamy cilantro sauce and crispy onions.

In a small pot, combine the rice, raisins, half the curry powder (you will have extra), a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.
