This is comfort food to me. Tastes like home, if you know what I mean.

Garnish with a handful of pomegranate seeds for crunch and a slightly sweet touch..

I eat a variation of this dish when my stomach has let me down: brown rice and live natural yogurt. The bacteria in the yogurt helps restore digestive health. The rice is just plain comforting. But now I will add chilli – the heat, like ginger, dilates the blood vessels, which also aids digestion. Ah, asafoetida. One for my shopping list…

this was wednesday lunch in the school canteen in madras,1961
its been my comfort food all my life
some super toss-ins when you’re frying the curry leaves etc:
- finely diced ginger (would help that tummy thing)
- cashewnuts or peanuts (great crunch)
- unseeded green chillies (sorry – won’t help that tummy thing, but great foo the chilliheads like me)
- just about anything else 2 experiment…
it’s a very forgiving and inclusive dish.
good one.
cheers

This does look nice and soothing! I am so sorry to hear about your stomach – that is the worst thing that can happen to a food lover – it is like betrayal of the closest kind!

Get well soon! Mean while, you’re brave to even venture in to the kitchen! I would’ve just gone to bed. Luuurve yogurt rice! Looks delicious!

aww..sorry about your poor tum, do get well soon.
I am all with you on leaving the complicated and intricate stuff to the pros( in my case, also sinful desserts , don’t want to become too good or frequent with that!)
Curd Rice, now that’s something I like making, exactly the way I like it,which is precisely the same as yours, with sume cukes added.
