South Indian Style Curd Rice

Posted on February 4, 2019 by Swati Leave a Comment on South Indian Style Curd Rice


Feeling slightly under the weather I decided to make myself some comfort food – South Indian style Curd Rice!

It’s traditionally made with white rice…..but I’m much more of a brown rice person so decided to try it with that instead and it was lovely! And yes, I added some veggies to it to make it healthier! I only had carrots and cucumber so in they went – but feel free to experiment with other veggies too!


Overview

  • Serves: 2
  • Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups fresh yogurt (or curd as its called in India)
  • Half cup grated carrots and cucumber
  • 2-3 tsp chopped coriander for garnish
  • Salt to taste

Tempering Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp home made ghee
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds (rai)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
  • 2 tsp white lentils (white urad dal)
  • 1 tsp split chickpeas (chana dal)
  • 6-8 curry leaves
  • 2 green chillies, slit
  • A pinch of asafotida (hing)

Method

  • Wash and soak the brown rice for 30 minutes
  • Add 3 cups of water and cook till its soft
  • Fluff up the rice with a fork and let it cool completely (if you are in a rush then spread it in a large bowl or plate to cool faster)
  • Add the yogurt to the cooled rice
  • Add the grated veggies
  • Mix well till the rice, yogurt and veggies are well combined
  • Add salt to taste
  • Heat ghee in a pan (or tempering kadhai if you have one)
  • Add mustard seeds – when its starts to splutter add cumin seeds and dals and fry until golden
  • Add the green chillies and curry leaves
  • Add hing after the curry leaves are crisp
  • Pour the seasoning over the rice and mix well
  • Finally garnish with chopped coriander
  • Enjoy!
