Curd Rice

I am not a rice fan; however, I simply love this dish. It is very easy to prepare and does not take much cooking time. You just need to keep the ingredients ready, and once that is done, it will take another 10 minutes for cooking. So let's quickly have a look at the ingredients and preparation method.



Ingredients:

1) Boiled rice
2) Curd
3) Onion - One (small) (Julienne them)
4) Green chilies - Two (depends on your spice level)
5) Ginger - 50 grams (Julienne them)
6) Peanuts - 100 grams (Optional)
7) Mustard seeds (Raee) - One tea spoon
8) Curry leaves - 8 to 10
9) Coriander leaves
10) Dry red chilies (not the powder)- Two (Optional)
11) Ghee - Two tea spoons

Procedure:

Boil rice in a container and keep it aside. Take a vessel and add ghee. Once the ghee is heated up, put peanuts and roast them. The moment you see that they are brown and giving a nice roasted smell, keep the peanuts aside in the corner of the pan with the help of a spoon and add two dry red chilies and mustard seeds in the center. Once they crackle, add julienned ginger, onions and chopped green chilies. After a minute, add curry leaves and mix everything properly. Then, add boiled rice and mix it properly with the mixture. At the end, take off the vessel from the stove.

In another vessel, take curd and add some water to it (don t put lot of water as the viscosity has to be high. In other words, the curd should be little thick). Whip it properly and keep it aside.

Again, take the vessel in which you mixed the rice with the mixture and add the whiped curd in to it. Add the curd slowly in to the rice and mix it properly. Make sure that you don t add the entire quantity of curd at one go. At the end, add coriander leaves for garnishing, and that's it, you are done.

Don t keep this dish for the later time and enjoy it when it is freshly made. After writing this, I am feeling hungry; hence, I will leave and will cook something exciting.
