Native Curry Rice – How to make Native Rice with Curry

Dobby

So i was thinking of upgrading the popular native rice to give it a different flavor than regular and voila! Curry leaf was there to do the magic. It’s not everyday you see recipes with curry leaf so this is definitely a must try. The aroma and taste it leaves your taste buds with is just out of this world.

The idea to prepare this dish came after i got a free shopping voucher from

JUMIA

. Here’s what happened. 

So I got a shopping voucher from @JumiaNigeria to do some shopping for easter and my excitement got the best of me. At first, I thought about getting one really nice barbecue grill I saw on their site but I decided to go for groceries first (you know, babe must chop 😁). Picked the ingredients for making Native curry rice which the whole family enjoyed and now I’m currently thinking of my next purchase…hehehe!!
