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.

3 cups basmati rice, cooked
3 tablespoons virgin olive oil
30 curry leaves, finely minced (small to med)

1/4-1/2 teaspoon garam masala
2 teaspoons plain breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large sautee pan.
