curd rice recipe

Curd rice is also known as yogurt rice or thayir sadam in India. Curd rice is a very famous south Indian recipe made from cooked rice combining tempered curd in it. The recipe is very light and has minimal flavours. This recipe is offered as “prasad” in many south Indian temples.

curd rice is very popular in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. ^{In the state of Tamil Nadu it is called “Thayir Saadam”. “Thayir” meaning “curd,” and “Saadam” meaning “rice.”}

The method of preparing curd rice is super easy. It is mostly prepared by mixing cooked and mushy rice into the curd or yogurt.You can add dryfruits and fresh pomegranate further to make it rich.I tried to keep the recipe simple here as I have been asking to share simple every day easy pissy meals these days 🙂

Curd rice is often eaten accompanied by pickles such as chili, mango or lime.It also tastes good with chutney as well. In a South Indian home, it is tradition to eat curd rice at the end of lunch and dinner, as this helps ease the effects of spicy food consumed prior.It is also said to aid digestion.

I use regular kolum rice here to make this recipe and also, I just pressure cook my rice for 3 whistles to get the nice mushy rice particularly for this recipe. Also, I am using fresh homemade curd here.
