Curd Rice

Okay, so I added extra curd in the rice. And the picture does not look all that appealing. But, the rice came out pretty decent in terms of taste... Try it.

Spice:


Ingredients:

• 1 cup Basmati / Long grain rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 1/2 cup curd / Plain yogurt
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon Oil
• 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
• 5 - 7 curry leaves
• 1 green chilli chopped (optional)
• 2 teaspoons urad + chana daal
• 1 teaspoon salt
  

Wash the rice thoroughly. Cook the rice and water in a pan or a rice cooker, and keep the cooked rice aside to cool down.

In a separate pan, heat the Oil on a medium flame and add the daal & mustard seeds to it. When the seeds begin to splutter, add the curry leaves, daal, green chillies and the salt. Saute for 3 - 4 minutes.

Now, turn off the heat, and add the rice. Mix thoroughly and cook for a couple of minutes on a low flame, stirring constantly. Be careful while mixing the rice with the oily mixture, if the rice is just cooked, you might end up pressing the soft rice too much. This results in a lump formation within the rice.

Just before serving / consuming, add the milk and the the curd and mix thoroughly again without any heat.
