Method
- 1
Mash the rice
Mash the warm rice lightly with the back of a spoon so it can absorb the yoghurt smoothly.
- 2
Mix in yoghurt
Stir in the yoghurt and milk gradually until creamy, and season with salt.
- 3
Temper
Heat the oil, add mustard seed, curry leaves and ginger, and fry until the mustard crackles.
- 4
Combine
Pour the tempering over the curd rice and mix through.
- 5
Chill and serve
Chill for at least 15 minutes before serving cold.
Nitra tip
Curd rice tastes best well chilled, not warm — make it ahead if you have the time.
