Step-by-step instructions:
1. Clean the intestine thoroughly by rinsing it with cold water and removing any excess fat or debris. Cut the intestine into 6-inch pieces and set aside.
2. In a medium pot, combine the rice, water, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked.
3. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the rice is heated through.
5. Stuff each piece of intestine with the rice mixture, using a spoon to pack it tightly. Tie the ends of the intestine with kitchen twine to secure the stuffing.
