    Curd Rice / Bagala Bath / Thayir Sadam

    Apr 6, 2015 · 3 Comments

    My 123rd recipe, “Bagala Bath / Thayir Sadam / Curd Rice”, my most favorite lunch recipe. While my mom made a variety of dishes for my lunchbox, she would always pack me a small side box filled with this wonderful Curd rice for lunch.

    It is one dish that I love eating without whining. Along with some mango or lime pickle it tastes so delicious. Looks like most of the times very simple recipes taste the best. This recipe is the perfect example. It is customary to have some curd rice along with your meal in South India. This is a little amped up version of the same, with the addition of spices, fruits, veggies and I would be just happy to eat this alone for lunch.

    I could never get bored eating it for lunch even everyday of the week.  It is very easy on your tummy and the perfect dish to cool you down during the harsh summer months. It is very easily customizable too. You can just add only those ingredients you have readily in hand, and still it would taste wonderful. Don't skip the curd, though 😀

    Notes | FAQ

    - You can also add cucumber, pomegranate along with grapes, which will give you an extra flavor.
    - Following this recipe, you can serve the rice immediately after preparation. In case if you are planning to serve it after 3-4 hours or packing for lunch box, then reduce the quantity of curd to ¼ cup. Else by the time you eat, it may turn sour.
    - You can even add the ginger, green chilli directly instead of tempering and adding.
    - As mentioned, for this recipe the rice needs to be slightly overcooked so that it can be mashed out easily.
    - Using fresh curd is important to achieve the best taste. Avoid using sour curd.
