Curd Rice/Thayir Sadam

November 19, 2016 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Curd Rice

Curd rice also known as Thayir Sadam in Tamil tongue is a recipe that not only resonates well in the South Indian states but now has many takers pan India.

As the name states, in its most simplest form it features curd and rice as its two chief ingredients, and then it is left to the choice of recipe maker who can experiment with the dish and add several ingredients to it in form of tempering. Popularity of this dish is such that it is usually the dish that is served at the finale of the grand South Indian meal, the intent being that curd would act as a coolant and aid in digestion process.

The century old South Indian tradition governs the order of consumption of dishes in a South Indian meal, which usually starts with sambhar rice followed by rasam rice and culminates with curd rice. This specific order has a great scientific basis wherein curd rice is placed as the last dish of the meal due to its probiotic nature, coolant properties and it aiding in the overall digestion process.

Curd Rice

This dish usually enriches an everyday meal and hence prepared by using small grain variants of rice which are cheaper than the exotic long grain variants that are used to make Biryanis. We have used small grain sona masuri rice as it is easily available at my grocer. However you can prefer any other small grain rice variety that you may find in your pantry. Rice is cooked, lightly mashed and then mixed with whisked curd. The tempering that we prefer and have used in this recipe is of urad dal, mustard seeds, curry leaves, red chilies and green chilies. To add an authentic touch to this recipe we have used coconut oil for the tempering (tadka). You can let your imagination flourish and choose garnishing of your choice like carrot, pomegranate seeds, raisins, fried cashewnuts are some of ingredients that can be added as a garnish.

You can make this humble rice recipe as a part of your lunch tiffin box preparation and can also include in your daily meal. Remember to share your feedback with us in the comment section below.
