1 pkg. Texmati rice
1 c. raisins
1 lg. tin pineapple pieces, drained
3-4 tbsp. mayonnaise
Sm. pkg. frozen peas (Petits Pois the best)
8 oz. chicken or 8 oz. tofu (optional)
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. coriander
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper

Cook rice according to directions on package. Drain and allow to cool. Two tablespoons curry powder may be used in place of assorted spices.

Meanwhile, soak raisins in cup of boiling water. When they have swollen, rinse and allow to cool. Chop pineapple and, if using, chicken or tofu into small pieces. Cook frozen peas, rinse and allow to cool.

When all ingredients are cold, mix them all together, including spices, in a large mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise last and ensure all the rice mixture is coated.

More or less mayonnaise and spices may be used depending on preference!
