BY SWASTHI , ON AUGUST 8, 2016, 28 COMMENTS

Curd rice recipe It is more often eaten by the south Indians as a part of meal. It makes a great
summer food as well. Rice and yogurt are the 2 main ingredients that go towards making this. It is called
as thayir sadam in tamil and daddojanam in telugu. yogurt rice can be made in di erent ways. Iam
sharing the most common method today. Cooked rice is mixed with curd and then tempered to make it
mildly avorful.

Learn how to make curd rice with step by step photos

1. Add rice to a pressure cooker. You can use only white rice. I prefer to use matta rice / brown rice and
white rice in equal proportions. This is one good way to include brown rice in the diet. Using all brown
rice also yields good curd rice. You can even add a stful of millets or replace brown rice with millets.

2. Wash and soak for about 20 to 30 minutes. Add 1 cups fresh water and salt as needed.

3. Pressure cook on a medium ame for one whistle. This may vary depending on the brand of cooker
you own. We need to soft cook the rice.

4. Flu up the rice or mash it. I prefer to u up. Cool completely. Adding curd to hot rice will coagulate
the curd (like curdled).

5. Add fresh curd to the rice. Mix until just combined. Add more or less curd to bring the yogurt rice to
consistency. I suggest adding milk, if yogurt is sour or you are going to serve it after an hour or more.
Usually little milk is added to make thayir sadam but i do not use since i always use fresh curd and
serve right away.

6. Heat oil in a pan, temper with tempering ingredients. Switch o the stove. If using grated bottle gourd,
add it to the pan and saute for a minute.

7. Add veggies and seasoning to the curd rice. Stir well. Adjust salt if needed.

Serve yogurt rice with pickle, pappad, podi. A vegetable salad like beetroot salad or an healthy cooling
and crunchy radish or mullangi salad also go well.
