1

Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; keep it simmering while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the celery, onion, the white parts of the green onion, garlic, curry powder, and salt in the hot oil until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl.
3

In the same skillet, cook and stir the rice until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
4

Stir the toasted rice into the boiling chicken broth. Reduce the heat to medium-low; simmer until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
5

Remove the rice from the heat and stir in the raisins, green onion tops, and the celery mixture until well blended.
