Preparing the rice
Wash the rice thoroughly with cold water. Steam the rice until tender according to the instructions on the package. Let the rice cool. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in the sunflower oil. Add the ground meat to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Add the curry powder. Fry the ground meat until crumbly and nicely browned. Add the rice to the pan and mix well. Continue frying the rice over high heat for a little while, stirring well. Add Maggi seasoning to taste and finally stir in some fried onions to taste.
Preparing the salad (the pickles)
Wash the cucumber and use a vegetable peeler to make beautiful ribbons. Place the cucumber ribbons in a bowl and add the white wine vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Cut the radishes into thin slices and add them to the cucumber. Make sure to prepare this several hours in advance and let it marinate. A few minutes before serving, slice the cornichons and halve the mini pearl onions. Add them to the bowl with the cucumber and radishes, toss briefly and serve alongside the rice.
