Curd rice

Curd Rice or yogurt rice is the most comforting food of south India. I love it along fried chillies or any fried flitters. Best combination would be pickle :P When u dont feel like doing anything, the quick way to have a wholesome healthy meal would be curd rice :) It is very simple and quite quick recipe that anyone can make in home.

Takka seath (Konkani)

    Ingredients:

    1 & 1/2 cups cooked white rice
    1 & 1/2 cups plain yogurt
    4-5 curry leaves
    1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
    1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
    1/2 teaspoon chana dal
    1/2 teaspoon urad dal
    2 red chilies or as needed (optional)
    pinch of asafoetida (optional)
    1 tablespoon ghee or oil 
    2 tablespoon of chopped coriander leaves
    salt to taste

Method:

• In a medium mixing bowl, mix the rice and yogurt together.
• Heat the oil for the tempering. Start out by adding the mustard seeds and let them sputter for a bit. 
• Next the cumin seeds get the same treatment. Now add the curry leaves, the red chilies, the urad dal and the chana dal. 
• Once they have browned a bit, add the asafoetida, give the tempering a quick mix and add it to the rice mixture.
• Add the coriander, salt to taste, mix well and serve.
