What each ingredient does
- Rice (in the method)
- Softens as it cooks, thickening the soup and giving it body.
- Milk
- Adds richness and creaminess to the liquid base of the soup.
- Butter (in the method)
- Adds fat and a smooth, rounded flavour when stirred in at the end.
- Onion (in the method)
- Releases sweetness and aromatic flavour as it cooks in the liquid.
- Curry
- Provides the spiced aroma and flavour that defines the soup.
The step that matters
Cook the rice until quite tender. Rice must cook long enough in the milk and water to soften fully; undercooked grains stay firm and make the soup gritty rather than smooth and thickened.
