Karuveppilai sadam

Karuveppilai sadam is a traditional dish originating from Southern India, and it's also known as spiced curry leaves rice. The dish is prepared with a combination of rice, curry leaves, lentils, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, chili peppers, mustard, asafoetida, peanuts (optionally), and oil. Most of the ingredients are roasted and tempered until the curry leaves become crisp. Cooked rice is mixed with the tempering and other ingredients, and the dish is then simmered until the flavors are completely absorbed. Karuveppilai sadam is typically enjoyed with raita or on the side.
