Curry leaves rice | Karivepaku rice | Karuveppilai sadam
Curry leaves rice is a simple and nutritious meal to make and it can be made under 30 minutes. If you have leftover rice, then this recipe will come in handy for you. You can customize this recipe to your taste by adding onions or any veggies but I like to make it this way as it is simple.
I like to enjoy my curry leaves rice with yogurt and potato fry or potato chips, Best combo I must say.! This rice also makes a great meal for road trips or travel. It is tasty and picky eaters will love it too. This curry leaves rice tastes best when its spicy but feel free to reduce the spiciness if you are giving it to kids.
This curry leaves rice is great for lunchbox or for a busy weekday dinner. If you don’t have curry leaves powder then just take curry leaves fry them on pan till crispy and make powder from it.
