Curry Leaves Rice

Curry leaves rice step-by-step recipe with photos.

Curry leaves are an integral part of every south Indian kitchen. It is a key ingredient in tempering. This aromatic herb has numerous therapeutic benefits. These leaves have their mention in Ayurveda and are used in Ayurvedic medicines to cure several ailments. They are known for their usage in hair oil too.

Despite being a key ingredient for seasonings, it is often discarded and not eaten. The best way to add them to your diet is by making the chutney powder and an easy rice dish out of it. This dish is ready in 10 minutes if you have the chutney powder ready.

I make curry leaves rice by tossing cooked rice in ghee, seasonings, peanuts, and curry leaves chutney powder. Make sure the cooked rice is completely cooled before using it. You may use leftover rice to make this delicious herby dish. I prefer to make this dish with ghee as it tastes best that way. But if you are looking for a vegan option, you may replace it with olive oil or any regular cooking oil.
