Encouraging viewers to make the simple dish, she also added that the recipe was, “good for the gut, improves haemoglobin levels, boosts immunity and improves sleep quality”.

As Rujuta said, curd rice can be made easily, within no time and is hence a staple in households across the country. Depending on the region, the dish is tempered with various ingredients such as urad dal, mustard seeds and chillies. Some recipes also use more fruity additions like pomegranate, grapes and cashew nuts to spruce up the dish.

With time the dish has also undergone more prominent changes such as replacing the rice with vermicelli. Another popular replacement for rice is sago or sabudana, which is a rich source of zinc, fibre and calcium. In this recipe, the sago is simply soaked in water for a couple of hours. After that, the sago is boiled for a few minutes and then mixed with curd and milk. You can temper it with ingredients such as mustard seeds, ginger and asafoetida.

With ample opportunities to customise your curd rice into something unique, tell us which recipe you will be choosing first.
