Notes:

You can buy curry leaves from any Indian store for 3.99$ and keep in in fridge . Tip to keep it fresh for a longer period of time is wrap it in a newspaper and then keep in fridge it will stay for more than 15 days.

You can add any vegetables to this rice dish but making sure to stir fry or roast vegetables prior to making this dish. I love adding peas, cauliflower, mushrooms, potatoes , corns and sometimes beans, broccolini, spinach leaves and so on

If you make this recipe with left over rice, it works out the best.

I love using local produce and love using black truffle olive oil from Tauranga based company The kiwi artisan co, just drizzle it when you are serving this rice dish, you will love your life. best way to pack you regular meals with nutrients and flavours.

To serve I used foraged in Raglan Mid summer pickle and goes very well with this dish.

I bought black currants from BinInn store
