Curd Rice is an extraordinary dish in South India. Especially if you see in Tamilnadu, Curd Rice has popularity among all kinds of people be it rich or poor. This unique yoghurt dipped rice mash is part of lunch and dinner for several and easy to make. So let’s have a look shall we:
Procedures to make an excellent plate of Curd Rice
- Wash ½ cup rice multiple times in water. Utilize an assortment of ordinary rice. I utilized sona masuri rice.
- Then add the rice in a 2-litre pressure cooker
- Add 1.5 cups water and stir.
- Pressure cook rice until 5 to 6 whistles pop or 8 to 9 minutes if you’re unsure, till the rice is cooked and softened very well. Make sure the rice is cooked and not mushy
- At the point when the pressure settles down all alone, remove the top and check the doneness of rice. The rice must be more gentler than what we cook consistently.
- With a spoon or masher, mash the rice. Close the cooker and allow the rice to cool down.
- Take the squashed rice in a blending bowl or you can even keep in the cooker if you need. Spread and let the rice become tepid or let the cooked rice grains come to room temperature.
- When the cooked rice become warm or comes to room temperature, add 1 cup fresh curd.
- Next include ¼ cup milk. The measure of milk that should be included will depend on the acridity in the curd. Since I utilized new curd, I have included less milk. Although you can increase the amount if required.
- Blend well overall and break knots assuming any. You can either utilize the spoon or masher while breaking the knots. The consistency must be somewhat free and not thick. On the off chance that the texture is thick, at that point you can include some more curd or milk.
- Add one teaspoon finely chopped ginger, one green chilli (chopped), one tablespoon chopped coriander leaves and one teaspoon finely chopped curry leaves. Instead of adding ginger and curry leaves to the rice, you can also fry them in the tempering.
- Add salt as per taste.
- Mix very well. Keep aside. Check the taste and add more salt if required.
