CURRY LEAF RICE

Curry Leaf Rice image

I love the taste of curry leaves and I love rice. So I combined those two things and came up with this recipe. This rice dish tastes better the longer it sits. Ghee can be substituted for the olive oil. Curry leaves can be found at your Indian grocer. This recipe uses small-medium sized curry leaves. If your leaves are large, adjust accordingly.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 cups basmati rice, cooked
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
30 curry leaves, finely minced (small to med)
2 garlic cloves, chopped fine
1/4 cup onion, minced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon garam masala
2 teaspoons plain breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 whole curry leaves, for garnish

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large sautee pan.
When hot, add the finely chopped curry leaves, onion, and garlic.
Sautee over low heat until the fragrance whafts-up and the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Watch that the leaves don't burn.
Add garam masala and cook for one minute.
Add the bread crumbs and stir for a minute.
Add the cooked rice and with a spatula, turn over until thoroughly coated, being careful not to mash the rice.
Add salt and pepper to taste and combine carefully.
Garnish with the whole curry leaves.

Tips:

Wash the rice thoroughly: This removes the starch and impurities, resulting in fluffy and separate grains of rice.
Use the right ratio of rice to water: This is typically 1:2, but may vary depending on the type of rice and your desired consistency.
Soak the rice before cooking: This helps to reduce the cooking time and results in more evenly cooked rice.
Add salt to the water: This helps to enhance the flavor of the rice.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low: This prevents the rice from boiling over and ensures that it cooks evenly.
Cover the pot and let the rice cook undisturbed: This allows the rice to steam and cook evenly.
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This helps to separate the grains of rice and makes it light and fluffy.

Curry leaf rice is a delicious and flavorful South Indian dish that can be enjoyed on its own or with a variety of accompaniments. It is a versatile dish that can be made with different types of rice, vegetables, and spices, making it a great option for any occasion.
