  • Cut green onions into thin slices and add them to the curry. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add Sambal Oelek and season with lime juice and ginger powder as desired.

Serve with the rice and enjoy!

inspired by a curry my mother used to cook. However, that one was made with white onions, cream, curry powder and chicken, so the only ingredient that remained is the rice served with the curry.
