தயிர் சாதம் | Curd Rice | Expert Tips to Make Perfect Curd Rice |Thayir Sadam Recipe | Masterchefmom

Hi all,

Thayir Sadham or the Curd Rice is a staple at our home.

Lunch is incomplete if we do not finish it with curd rice or at least a spoonful of curd. Our childhood is filled with memories of packed curd rice lunch boxes for school , packed Thayir Sadam for our picnics to temples , train travels also had this comfort food of ours. Do you know that curd rice is even served as prashadham/prashad in temples? They taste divine.

Though the two basic ingredients used in making curd rice is the same - rice and curd, they taste completely different when made by different people. Every one has their own secret touch to making an amazing curd rice.

The consistency of curd rice, the amount of milk or curd that you add, the salt added, the tempering and most importantly the way you cook the rice all makes a difference in taste.

I am so happy to share the expert cooking tips of my MIL and mother in this video.

You can garnish the curd rice with grated carrot, ginger, raw mango,coriander leaves for special occasions. You can even add ghee roasted cashew nuts and dry grapes if you like. The options are plenty .

But our favourite is the basic one that I have shared in the video.

Ingredients :

1 cup rice
1/2” ginger ( grated)
1-2 green chillies (finely chopped)1/2 cup curd
1/2 cup milk
Water/buttermilk ( adjust)
Salt to taste
For tempering:
2 teaspoon sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon Urad dal
1/2 teaspoon chana dal
1 sprig curry leaves

Important Note : The curd and milk measurements are for making the curd rice and serving them within 1/2 hour. If you are making it in advance or serving it much later, add more milk and very less curd.

Method;

1. Mash the cooked rice using the back of a ladle.
2. Add milk and mix without any lumps.
3. Add curd, mix and adjust water.
4. Add salt and mix well.
5. Heat a tempering ladle with oil and temper with the ingredients given for the same.
6. Pour it into the curd rice mixture.

Your delicious curd rice is now ready to be served !

Happy Cooking!

With love,
