Curd rice

Curd Rice or Thayir Sadaam also known as Yogurt rice is very popular preparation in the Indian State of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.It is also offered as 'Prasadam' (blessed food) to devotees in temples.In a south Indian home, it is tradition to eat curd rice at the end of lunch or dinner, as this helps ease the effects of spicy food consumed prior. it is also said to aid digestion.
         Curd rice prepared with steamed rice mixed with curd, salt and then tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, dry chilies and urad daal. Garnishing varies with region and range from grated carrots, pomegranate seeds, raisins, grapes, fried cashew nuts, grated raw mango, and boondi. Additional options include a pinch of powdered and roasted asafoetida. It can be served lukewarm and chilled.
      The curd rice recipe I am sharing here is not a traditional temple style curd rice recipe, as I have used onion and nigella seeds in tempering, in temple style curd rice they do not use nigella seeds or onion.method of cooking is also different. In my home, i use to serve curd rice lukewarm.
