Curd Rice – A Bowl of Comfort

Luke Coutinho (Designed by Priyanka Vithlani, Meal Planning Analyst)
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.

For tempering:

Instructions

  • Chop the coriander leaves and ginger. Set aside.
  • Heat a pan with coconut oil and add the ingredients to temper.
  • Let the mustard seeds crack and the urad dal turn brown. Add the curry leaves, and ginger now and fry for a minute. Switch off the flame. Keep aside.
  • Wash and peel the carrots. Grate and set them aside.

Notes

  • Curd rice is the best meal for bloating, indigestion, or diarrhea because curd is a great source of probiotics.
  • Consuming curd rice helps to restore the microbial balance which, in turn, helps in better digestion.
  • We can add a little millet that will be white and almost taste like rice, thereby a perfect replacement for rice.
  • Vegans can use any plant-based yogurt in place of A2 curd.
  • Pair it up with an easy, non-fancy salad made of slices of cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, and relish it with a DIY vinaigrette. Click here for the recipe.
  • Serve with beetroot poriyal/mushroom stir fry or any curry. Check out the recipe here.
