Do you believe this wonderful looking curryleaves rice took just less than 30minutes to get ready in microwave oven??..I prepared making this great looking rice for our lunch yesterday with some fresh curry leaves which i picked during my last visit to Indian groceries. As i told earlier cooking rice in microwave oven goes for less than 20minutes, you will get prefectly cooked separate rice grains for your further use..Cooking herbs in microwave oven retains their green colour and the picture itself will prove it na..Easy breezy rice tastes fabulous when served along with some fried papads or spicy potato fries which suits prefectly for lunch box menu..
