HARIYALA CURD RICE

Curd rice is a popular and comfort rice dish from Southern India. It’s known as  Thayir Sadam in Southern India. Thayir means curd and sadam means rice. There are lots of combination of rice dishes we all make in our routine life. Though in regular meals steamed rice is consumed by all of us. But combination rice delicacies are turned into a one pot meal.
