Traditional
Fragrant, earthy, and irresistibly spiced, this dish celebrates the bold flavor of fresh curry leaves in every grain. Karivepaku Karam Podi—a vibrant South Indian spice powder made from roasted curry leaves, chilies, and coriander—is the soul of this quick and comforting rice dish. Tossed with warm rice and a drizzle of ghee or oil, it delivers a toasty aroma, deep umami, and just the right amount of heat.
