The Pepper Garlic Rice is similar to a fried rice recipe with garlic and pepper as the main ingredients. I’m making this recipe quite often these days whenever I’ve some leftover rice or when I’m craving for any fried rice. As a garlic lover, I don’t have any excuses to make this dish anyway ?. It takes only a few minutes to make, has just a handful of ingredients, and tastes absolutely delicious every single time. There is something very special about this recipe. The fried golden crunchy garlic, freshly pound black pepper, the aroma of curry leaves, and colorful cilantro together give the recipe a unique garlicky flavor yet very tasty.

This is a great way to use leftover cooked rice as well, so try different varieties until you find something that you enjoy. I am being very generous with the amount of garlic used in this recipe as it is the main ingredient. However, if you are not a fan of strong garlic flavor, the garlic quantity can be reduced to suit your taste. The fresh curry leaves in this recipe give a unique flavor and aroma elevating the recipe to the next level. You can use any other herbs that you enjoy for a different take on the recipe.
