Add the rice to a medium bowl and add water to cover. Let the rice soak for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the rice with the Fine Mesh Strainer.
Add the rice, water, oil, and salt to the 3-qt. (3-L) Micro‑Cooker® Plus. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 15 minutes.
Let the rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
When the timer on the blender is up, press CANCEL. Remove the vented lid cap and carefully add the add-ins. Replace the cap and press the PULSE button once or twice to combine.
Serve the curry over the rice and garnish with cilantro and cashews.
