This dish is a regular in many south Indian homes. It is so healthy and nutritious and the best dish to eat during summer. It’s so refreshing. Its extremely kid – friendly. We all grew up eating this.
It goes well with this potato fry or even some plain mango pickle. If you’re a non- vegetarian how about some fried fish to go along with it?
You can make it more exciting by adding in some diced cucumbers or grated carrots………..or even some pomegranate! Won’t that be a pretty sight?

This week’s topic for the blogging marathon is everyday lunch/dinner dishes. So this dish does absolute justice to the topic as I’m sure most south Indians make this dish atleast once a week. Watch this space for the next 2 days for other easy dishes under this topic!
serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
uncooked rice – 1.5 cups
water – 5 cups
milk – 1 cup (cool)
yoghurt – 2.5 cups
ginger, grated – 1.5 tbsp (optional)
fresh coriander leaves – 1 or 2 tbsps (optional)
salt
to temper:
oil – 3 tbsps
mustard seeds – 1.5 tsps
urad dal – 1/2 tsp
curry leaves – 1 long stem
dried red chilies – 2
green chilies, chopped – 3
PROCESS:
- I used a rice cooker to cook my rice. Dump the rice and the 5 cups of water and turn the cooker on. We need the grains to really mash.
- Once the rice has cooked, transfer the rice into a big bowl and just mash it up using a spatula. Let it cool.
- Once it has cooled down, add the salt, milk, yoghurt, ginger and the fresh coriander leaves. Mix well.
- In a small saucepan/wok heat the oil. Add the mustard seeds. Once they start to pop, add the red dried chilies, curry leaves, urad dal and the green chilies. When the urad dal starts to slightly brown switch off the flame and pour this oil into the bowl of rice.
- mix well and serve either cold or warm.
