Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked rice, 2 cups fresh curd, 1 small tbsp urad white lentils, 3- 4 red dry chilli, 5- 8 curry leaves, 2 tsp mustard seeds, ½ tsp asafoetida, 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander, ½ tbsp ghee, salt to taste

Preparation Time: 5 min (if rice already cooked)

 

 

 

Recipe:

1. Wash the rice well and cook it per the traditional and conventional method. Do this at least an hour before making curd rice as it will cool down the rice.

2. Take curd in a mixing bowl. Churn it well. Add ½ to 1 cup water to it and churn it well again.  If you feel the curd is very thick, then add little more water and churn well.

3. Now add rice little by little while mixing it properly. Mix it till all the curd is used up and the state is semi- liquid. Rice absorbs water, so ensure that the mixture is semi- liquid. Otherwise it turns very dry.

4. Take a small deep pan for preparing the seasoning of the curd rice. Heat it and add ghee. Heat the ghee and add mustard seeds, asafoetida and urad lentils. Allow urad lentils to turn golden.

5. Then add curry leaves and red dry chilli.

6. Pour the seasoning over the curd rice mixture. Add salt to taste.

7. Serve it chilled with coriander toppings.

Tips: I generally make rice in a meal before only so that it cools down properly.
