Cook the rice in a grainy vegetable broth, then put it in a bowl and let it cool. Drain the pineapple while collecting the juice. Soak the raisins in the pineapple juice.
Chop the pineapple and spring onions and add to the rice with the raisins. Squeeze in the garlic clove or chop it very finely. Add a little oil and mix everything carefully. Coarsely mash the cashew nuts and add. Mix in the chopped chicken breast if you like. Season the salad with curry, salt and pepper.
