Curd Rice is a simple and uncomplicated recipe from South India, which is simply curd, rice and tempering. Let’s begin with rice. Usually ponni rice is used for curd rice, so take some boiled rice in a flat bowl, and add some curd. Chop ginger, chop some green chillies, and add them to the rice and curd. Now add some grated carrots. |

Now for tempering, in a hot pan, add some ghee, dried red chillies, mustard seeds, urad dal( to give it a bite and the nutty flavour enhances the taste), heeng, and “the star ingredient”; curry leaves. Cool the tempering a little, then add it to the rice. Now, let’s get your hands dirty! Mash it well with your hand. You can also add a little milk if you want. Mix it properly. Serve it with some pickle and appalam and enjoy this light to your tummy, Curd Rice! |
