  Comments:
I think "curry rice" can mean both "curried 
rice" and "rice and curry", based on what I 
see in google images - but more freq rice and 
curry. also if you look at the way it's 
climbing in the ngrams I think it's reasonable 
to assume the reason it's become so common is 
that it coincides with the rise of Japanese 
curry in the English-speaking world

Either is fine (I'd say "curry and rice") but I don't think we need both as glosses. Also, "curry rice" appears to be another way of saying "curried rice", which isn't the same thing as curry *and* rice.

  Comments:
"curry and rice" doesn't sound natural/like 
the name of a dish to me, but I see it's as 
common as "rice and curry" in the google books 
ngrams (to my surprise). 
I think we might as well include all valid and 
common forms here.
