Toppings in the Thayir Sadam

Tamil Brahmins usually do a simple tadka (Tempering) and mix with curd rice. However there are multiple other toppings are also usually added to enhance the taste of the Curd Rice. Some of the toppings are Pomegranate, Green Grapes, finely chopped green mango, grated carrots, few finely chopped green chilies, ginger, coriander leaves, etc.,

Tips to make Curd Rice

  • We can make the curd rice using the normal white rice. But if you are making a batch of curd rice for parties, get togethers or travels, we recommend to use slightly mushy rice. Add slightly more water and additional couple whistles while cooking the rice to get the mushy rice.
  • I prefer to use the fresh batch of rice to make curd rice. Left over rice are still perfect for making curd rice, but to taste better use the fresh batch of rice
  • Use fresh curd as much as possible.
  • Try not to add cold curd on the hot rice. Let the rice cool a bit and then add the curd.
  • For packing curd rice for travel / or for use after 4-6 hours, use more milk and less curd to prevent curd rice becoming sour. I would recommend  to add milk fully and add only 1 tablespoon of curd.

Benefits of Curd :

Homemade Curd is a rich probiotic and hence it is very good for our stomach. Also curd has lots of proteins and nutrients that can control high blood pressure. A bowl of fresh homemade Curd is one of the healthiest and simple food. In addition to making rice with curd, we can also chop frits like strawberry, blue berry, nuts and banana and serve the fruit flavored curd as a snack to Kids. Also we can make fresh fruit smoothies out of the curd and it would be a healthy drink for kids and adults.
