CURRY LEAF JUICE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large sautee pan.
• When hot, add the finely chopped curry leaves, onion, and garlic.
• Sautee over low heat until the fragrance whafts-up and the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Watch that the leaves don't burn.
• Add garam masala and cook for one minute.
• Add the bread crumbs and stir for a minute.
• Add the cooked rice and with a spatula, turn over until thoroughly coated, being careful not to mash the rice.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and combine carefully.
• Garnish with the whole curry leaves.

Steps:

• 1. Place the lentils, 4 cups water, turmeric, and salt in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat until the lentils are tender, about 30 minutes, frequently skimming off any foam with a spoon.
• 2. In a heavy-bottom pot, heat the oil over medium heat and add the curry leaves, stirring until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove 4 leaves and reserve for the garnish. To the oil, add the mustard seeds, asafetida, ginger, and tomato and cook until the tomato begins to dry, about 3 minutes. Add the lentils, 2 1/4 cups water, the coconut milk, tamarind, and black pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 3 minutes.
• 3. Season with salt and serve hot, garnished with the fried curry leaves.
