Ensure that the coriander leaves and curry leaves are chopped finely. Chop the green chilli
into big pieces. I will discard this after mixing with rice.
Add this to the curd rice.
If adding cashew nuts chop them finely and add it raw. Do not fry them in oil.
Note:
1. Never add the yogurt when the rice and milk mixture is warm.
2. I prefer to add full cream milk to the rice as it gives a creamy texture.
3. My aunty always add a dollop of butter while mixing the rice.
4. You can add raw mango bits and finely chopped carrots to make it more yummy.
5. My kids love to have with pomegranate and if i have it in hand i usually mix it with the rice at
the end.
6. Adjust the quantity of milk and yogurt according to the consistency you want.
