Curry leaves rice | Karibevu soppina chitranna |
ಕರಿಬೇವು ಸೊಪ್ಪಿನ ಚಿತ್ರಾನ್ನ | ಕರಿಬೇವಿನ ಚಿತ್ರಾನ್ನ |
One of the very healthy, filling, nutritious rice bath/chitranna. In Kannada language word chitranna translates to ‘masala/spices and herbs rice’.
Had lot of fresh curry leaves, so thought of making this curry leaves rice which uses more amount of this herb, curry leaves in it.
Basically a dry powder is prepared using curry leaves by adding few spices and we can mix that powder with rice by making a tempering/tadka/oggarane as and when required for the desired quantity of chitranna you wish to prepare.
Once you prepare this powder and keep it stored, then this is a 2 minutes recipe which you can pack for the tiffin box too. Below is my method of preparing this herbal rice.
