‘Curd Rice is a comfort food for sure!  It is a quick fix dish which can be made using left over cooked rice.  And also a light meal, especially good for the sick.  ‘Curd Rice’ is best served chilled, garnished with grated carrots, seedless green grapes or pomegranate arils.

Yummy ‘Curd Rice’ is off to SriLekha for the event “EFM -  Rice Series”
