Ingredients

  • ½ cup broken kambu
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup curd
  • 2 and ½ tablespoon carrot grated
  • 2 tablespoon cucumber finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon raw mango finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon coriander leaves finely chopped
  • salt to taste

To temper

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 sprig curry leaves
  • 1 green chilli finely chopped
  • ¼ inch piece ginger

Instructions

  • I used broken kambu so used it as such. Rinse the kambu well and transfer to pressure cooker, add water and pressure cook in low medium flame for 4 whistles.
  • Once pressure releases, open and switch on the flame. Keep stirring till it becomes thick. Now transfer this to a mixing dish. let it cool down completely.
  • Add curd and mix well. Then add cucumber, carrot, coriander leaves, raw mango and mix well. Add required salt.
  • Heat oil in a pan - add items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter. Then add the tempering to the curd rice. Mix well.
  • Serve chilled and while serving garnish with leftover carrots, cucumber and coriander leaves.

Notes

  • If you like add chopped raw onion too.
  • If you are packing then add few tablespoon of milk along with curd and mix well.
  • Make kambu rice thick so that while mixing it doesn't go runny.
  • If you prefer add little water and curd while mixing.
  • Serve with pickle or any kuzhambu of your choice.
