Notes from Liz: This is a very festive dish. Prepare the curry, condiments and rice. Put the condiments in small dishes on the table. Serve the curry in a large bowl. Serve the rice in a large bowl. Guests will put a layer of rice, covered by the curry and then select the condiments. This is a great dish for a buffet or it can be easily served at the table. My favorite combination: all of the condiments! This provides a one course meal with all of the food groups. I usually pick several types of chutney to provide for choices but Major Grey is plenty for a choice. This dish is always a hit. (you do not have to provide all of the condiments)
