    Corn Karuveppilai Sadam is a rice with a twist. The traditional Karuveppilai Sadam 

    Karivepaku Annam gets upgraded to the latest by adding Corn Kernels and extra spice to add to the zing. You can make this rice in no time as its very easy to make the curry leaf powder that's required for this and if you have cooked rice on hand, it hardly takes time to assemble this rice to pack for your kids lunch box.

    Make it a littler more colourful by adding the corn kernels. We are quite partial to the curry leaves, we make Karivepaku Podi , Karivepaku Uragaya , Karivepaku Pulihora
