Notes

1. Use Fresh Curd

Fresh curd gives the best taste and prevents excess sourness.

2. Add Milk

Milk keeps the curd rice creamy and prevents it from becoming dry.

3. Mash the Rice Well

Soft mashed rice creates restaurant-style creamy curd rice texture.

4. Do Not Skip Ginger

Ginger adds freshness and improves digestion.

5. Adjust Consistency Before Serving

Curd rice thickens over time, so add a little milk before serving if needed.
