In this article, I’ll share how to prepare curd rice easy way.
Curd rice is a popular and tasty South Indian dish that is served with a South Indian thali or meal. Curd rice is nothing but curd (yogurt) mixed with cooked rice, herbs and then tempered. Curd rice is also known as thayir sadam or daddojanam or bagala bath in some South Indian languages.
The simplest and basic curd rice is simply made by mixing cooked rice, curd and salt. To this basic mixture you can always add some spices or flavorings. The South Indian curd rice is also made in a similar way and then tempering of spices is added on the curd rice which makes it more flavorful and tasty.
Curd rice is healthy. It is the last food that is consumed when you have lunch in South Indian homes.
- Curd is rich In proteins, calcium, good fats, minerals And thus excellent for vegetarians.
