Curd Rice – A Bowl of Comfort
Curd Rice – A Bowl of Comfort
Curd rice is the traditional dish of South India. A simple combination of curd and rice, this healing superfood is a natural probiotic for the gut and a natural coolant for your digestive system. Adding mustard seeds to the tempering with curry leaves and anti-inflammatory spices boosts its nutritional profile. While you relish it, ensure you do not overdo it. Eat it mindfully in the right quantity.
