In bowl, pour water over raisins and soak for 30 minutes.
In saucepan, combine rice with 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) water, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
In skillet, sauté onion in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until onions are soft.
Add ginger, garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add curry, cumin and stir continuously for 2 minutes to avoid scorching the spices.

Serve curry over rice.

Suggestion

Curries are carefully blended combinations of powdered spices that traditionally include cumin, coriander, chili, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper. Turmeric gives the mixture its distinctive yellow color. There is no universally accepted recipe, in fact Indian households are likely to have unique blends, ranging from mild to very hot, and with proportions handed down over generations. 
Leftover coconut milk may be stored in the freezer.
