Method
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the washed rice and stir for about a minute.
Stir in the curry powder and chicken broth powder, mixing well with the rice.
Add one cup of liquid chicken broth and stir again.
Add the second cup of liquid chicken broth and continue cooking on medium heat until the broth is mostly absorbed.
Pour in one cup of water, cover the pan, and let the rice simmer on very low heat for about 20 minutes.
When the water has been absorbed, add the frozen vegetables, cover again, and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the vegetables are heated through.
Fluff the rice, mix everything together, and serve.
