Thayir Sadam Recipe
What is so great about curd rice? why post a recipe for this? might me the question for many who is seeing this post on my blog? The reason for sharing this recipe is for beginners who struggle to get the perfect taste to tempered curd rice. I have been there and gone through it, but eventually I learnt the taste and trick to getting the perfect curd rice. I can live for a week or almost daily just eating curd rice, I think it has to go with my Amma's genes as she is also someone who loves curd. There can never be a meal complete without us enjoying a spoon of curd. Its a must, I love having curd rice plain but at times I enjoy them tempered like the rice I am sharing today. Curd rice, lemon pickle, potato chips are one amazing combination.

COOKS WISDOM

TIP 1

1. I usually use a little mushy rice to make curd rice, I use fresh curd and not sour one. Adding green chilli and ginger gives lots of flavor to the curd rice. 

TIP 2

2. You can add green grapes (seedless) variety instead or along with pomegranate.

TIP 3

3. If you do not like fruits in curd rice then add shredded carrots, finely chopped raw mango to the tempering and cook for 2 minutes before adding it to the curd rice.

TIP 4

4. Some restaurants add cashew and raisins to the curd rice, but its totally optional.
