curry leaves rice recipe | karuveppilai sadam | karibevu chitranna with step by step photo and video recipe. lunch box recipes are the most common requested recipes i get frequently. most of the readers ask for something easy and quick yet it delivers the required taste, nutrient and also filling. one such our own south indian cuisine recipe made with bunch of curry leafs is known as curry leaves rice recipe.

even though the recipe is known as curry leaves rice, it is actually made with different spices and lentils which makes it tasty and flavourful. but the abundant use of curry leaves with the spices makes it unique and gives the name to this recipe. moreover it also gives a bright green colour to the rice recipe. having said that there are many other variations to this recipe which is made with just curry leaves and red chillies. i personally like the former one with the combination of lentils, coconut and curry leaves which makes it filling, tasty and flavoured one.

some easy and important tips with variations to the curry leaves rice recipe. firstly, i have used sona masuri rice for the mixing with the curry leaves and lentil spice powder. well i would heavily recommend to used the same as it mixes properly when compared to other premium rice like basmati. secondly, i would heavily recommend to use fresh curry leaves to make this spice mixture. do not compromise on it and be generous while adding these fresh curry leaves. lastly, recipe tastes better when served next day as the rice absorbs the spice mix thoroughly. hence i would recommend to plan the dish well ahead in advance like overnight for next day lunch box.
