Today, variations abound, with many incorporating different meats or vegetables, making it a versatile dish loved by many.

Peel and finely dice the onion.
Mince the garlic on a salted cutting board.
Heat olive oil in a pot until warm.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until soft and opaque, without browning.
Add tomato paste to the onions and garlic, stirring in a splash of water to prevent scorching.
In total, add 2.5 tubes of tomato paste and 3 cups of water, stirring until well combined.
Add 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, salt, and black pepper to taste, then stir and let simmer.
After simmering, add green peas and optional corned beef, allowing it to simmer for about an hour.
Ladle the sauce into a casserole dish.
Add 2 cups of Uncle Ben's rice, stirring to combine, then add an additional quarter cup of rice if needed based on consistency.
Transfer the mixture to the oven at 200°C and bake until the rice is firm and the top is slightly brown.
