Rice Roll on Apple Curry Sauce and Spinach

This is a vegetarian dish Asian inspired.

It has a lot of components that should be ready at the same time. It takes some planning ahead to do it.

Like a grilled Onigiri.
Not made in a griddle pan, but it comes out of the fryer. But it sticks a lot to the bottom of the frying pot, so be careful.

Very tasty is the thick apple Curry Sauce. And that sauce is so easy to prepare and will go great with other dishes too, such as chicken Kebab.
