Tips
• Serve cold on a hot sunny day along with any chutney or simply pickle.
• Curd rice tends to become thick as time passes if that’s the case add in some warm milk to bring back the consistency and to reduce the sourness.
• If you are packing it for lunch or making this recipe in advance then add just 1/2 cup of yoghurt to the warm rice mixture, and adjust the consistency by adding extra milk to a little runny like a batter. The curd will automatically set in about 4 hours if you keep the dish in a warm place.
