Curd Rice

I think, curd rice is one of the best things created in the south of India. Its tasty, healthy, and so versatile. Curd rice has many memories attached to it too.

Like, when we were kids, during summers we used to go to our grandparents place, during lunch grandpa used make a circle around grandpa. He would give us each ball of curd rice, and we would make a well in it, and grandpa would pour vetta kozambu (a south Indian dish with tamarind). We would fight for the last piece because that is the creamiest and the yummiest part.

Its also one of the easiest to make too.

My favorite is curd rice, with mustard-chili tadka and grated cucumber and pomegranate seeds in them.
I mean imagine, rice and curd mashed with each other in a buttery consistency, with cut  green mango pickle or nellikai oorkai , kadugu maanga

Curd rice can had with any veggie, any kootan, molakootal just about anything.
It can be had with, chips, papad
It can be had with mor molaga, the nice crisp fried chili.

Its almost a must have at the end of any meal. Like, even if I have a meal in a super fancy restaurant, I need my cup of curd in the end.
I can just go on about curd rice.

Oh man, I am salivating just thinking about curd rice.
Curd rice is heaven on our plates.
