A simple dish that is quick and easy to prepare.  Adding the curry gives it a little extra heat, flavour and colour.  With a light pan frying of the vegetables you get a nice crunch and the cashews give an extra surprise.  Commence cooking the rice and potatoes and then prepare the vegetables while the rice is cooking.  This will save time.
