Summers have hit us already & I am honestly dreading May. We usually make a lot of vegetarian meals during summers or stick to soups, salads and sandwiches. But this recipe of Curd Rice is one of our favourites at home irrespective of the weather. Not only is it hassle free but also a keeper for when you have a lot of left over rice.

Here is an authentic recipe of cooling Curd Rice that taste just like you get in south indian udipi restaurants. Once you have your ingredients ready, it is ready even before you know it. Give it a try & let me know how you find it.

1-2 Green Chilly

1/4” Ginger

Fresh Coriander, a small handful

1 tsp Oil
