Yummy Curry Leaves Rice

Hello All, hope you are doing great.!!! My passion for cooking begins on Friday mid-noon after a quick lunch. Today my mother in law made delicious rice using curry leaves (ಕರಿಬೇವಿನಾ ಅನ್ನ). It was so yummy and made with fresh curry leaves and its easy to prepare. I think this is one of the best recipes to prepare quickly for your hubby and kid's lunch box. This is a quick and healthy dish made up of rice, that makes your day with a yummy lunch.  So here is my first recipe which is going to publish for you all.
