Simple Curd Rice / Thayir Sadham

Ingredients:

• Homemade Curd (sour) - 1 cup
• Milk - 1/2 cup
• Steamed Rice - Cooled or Use leftover Rice
• Tadka/Tempering:- 
• Oil, Mustard seeds
• Hing/Perungaya thool

• Finely chopped Ginger pieces of 1/2 inch ginger
• Chopped Coriander leaves
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

• Heat oil in a kadai and add tempering ingredients one by one in medium flame and make sure doesnt get burnt. It will be ready in a minute or 2 so keep all the ingredients ready before heating the oil
• Turn off the heat and let it cool
• Mix chilled curd and milk - pour into the tempering in the kadai after its back to normal temperature
• Add Salt, Coriander leaves and the cold steamed rice only few minutes before serving. otherwise the rice might soak all the curd and milk and become dry to eat
• I prefer it chilled and spicy so dont like to add pomegranate. This is the simple and easy normal homemade curd rice for summers
