Popularly called thayir sadam in tamil nadu, this yogurt rice has cooked rice and curd(yogurt) as main ingredients. But it doesn’t end there! It’s packed with flavors with some spices and fruits. Pomegranate arils and green grapes are the best choices of fruits used in curd rice recipe. I have heard some of my friends add chopped apples too. I guess that’s pushing a little too far, I don’t like apples in my curd rice.
But don’t miss pomegranate seeds. It’s what makes curd rice taste incredibly delicious.
