Soak the rice in salted water or vegetable stock according to the package instructions, then let it cool. Clean the celery and cut the tender parts of the stalks into thin slices, possibly also chopping the leaves. Peel the oranges thickly so that the white part is gone, and cut into small pieces. Quarter the apples with their skins, remove the cores, and cut into small pieces. Mix everything with the rice along with the raisins and nuts. For the sauce, mix the yogurt with the oil. Season with salt, curry powder, ginger powder, chili, and, if desired, lemon juice, and a little honey or maple syrup. Let it sit for about an hour. Variation 1: Replace the brown rice with small whole-wheat noodles. Variation 2: Omit the rice or noodles entirely, use a little less yogurt if necessary, and serve this pure raw vegetable salad with toasted whole-wheat bread.
