Gorgeous colors, Sanjana, and I'm pretty much guaranteed to love all foods Gujarati. My best friend keeps telling me I'd love poha, but I haven't had time to trek out to the indian grocery. This is motivation if ever there was any 8).

P- Any Indian grocers- Fresh are best, frozen are good and dried are not so great. If you can get fresh, you can freeze them at home. Just remove the leaves from the stalks, wash them, dry them, toss them in oil and put them in a tuppaware lined with kitchen towel. I do this and they last ages!

Where am I getting curry leaves from? Are they dried? Or frozen?

Hello all, thank you for your great responses! This can indeed be done with regular (cooked) Basmati rice and will be equally delicious but maybe not as light.
Ms. Humble- Both of those kinds sound fine. I actually didn't know they did thick and thin variations but hey, flattened rice is flattened rice. I really hope you enjoy it!
