🥣 Because Sometimes, You Just Want Food That Loves You Back
Not spicy.
Not showy.
Just soft rice, thick curd, a hint of tempering — and peace.
Curd Rice, or Thayir Sadam, isn’t made to impress.
It’s made to comfort, to cool, to say “I’ve got you” after a long day, a hot walk, or a heavy meal.
It’s the last thing on the plate and the first thing you crave when your stomach says no to everything else.
🛒 What You’ll Need (Serves 2–3 quiet moods):
1 cup cooked rice (soft and slightly mushy is best)
1 cup curd (dahi) – fresh and thick
2–3 tbsp milk (optional, to avoid sourness)
Salt to taste
For Tempering:
1 tsp oil or ghee
½ tsp mustard seeds
1–2 green chilies, slit or chopped
½ tsp grated ginger
A few curry leaves
A pinch of hing
Optional: 1 tbsp chopped coriander, pomegranate, or grated carrot for garnish
🍚 How to Make It – With Calm and Care
1. Cool and Mix
Mash the cooked rice slightly while warm. Add curd, salt, and a bit of milk.
Stir gently until smooth and creamy.
2. Temper the Peace
In ghee or oil, add mustard seeds. When they crackle, add hing, curry leaves, green chilies, and ginger.
Pour this over the curd rice.
3. Serve as You Like
Warm or chilled.
With a piece of fried curd chili, a spoon of pickle, or just as it is — plain, pale, and perfect.
❤️ Why Curd Rice Is Always Enough
Cools the system
Calms the stomach
Carries no expectations, just care
Because not all food has to shout
