Karuvepillai Sadam/Curry leaves Rice

                  This one is a healthy one pot meal which can be made in a jiffy and is perfect rice to make the kids eat the curry leaves.Why kids alone even we also many of us use to throw away curry leaves which is in the dish.But in this rice we wont be able to do that as we use to grind the curry leaves and won't be able to find it.Also if we look at the rice no one will believe that its curry leaves rice.This one i did in the morning for my hubby's lunch box.So some how i manged to take step wise pics but the final picture was not able to take properly as my hubby was in a hurry for the office.So after packing in the lunch box i just clicked one final pic.
      Ooooohhhhh no just now i felt a mild tremor while uploading this recipe.Furniture's started shaking.But the tremor was not severe in Bangalore.
