ingredients

First of all we need to cook rice , since its a curd rice we need soft and mushy rice for this we will cook the rice in pressure cooker with little extra water
So I have added 1 cup rice in the cooker along with 2.5 cups of water, salt as per taste and closed the lid and cook untill 6-7 whistles.
P.S – I have used normal rice, we dont need basmati for this recipe. But its your choice if you want you may use basmati rice too.
After 6-7 whistles, turn off the heat
Once the whistles are gone completely, check the rice
Mash the rice well with the spatula until the rice is mushy
P.S – Its better to mash it while its hot as its mashed easily

Remove it in a Mixing bowl or a bottom vessel and let it cool for a while
Once its warm add half cup of Milk to the rice and mix it well and let it rest for 10-15 mins.
P.S -Adding milk makes the rice soft and moist and also balances the sourness of the curd
After 10 mins of resting the rice, Now add 1.5 cup of curd to the rice, Mix it very well so there are no lumps.

Mix everything well
If its thickens then add little water to get a creamy texture
Add salt as per taste , mix it well and keep it aside.

Lets make the tempering – Heat about 1 tbsp of oil in a pan
Add mustard seeds and let it crackle on a low flame
Then goes in chana dal and urad dal, and roast them in low flame until aromatic

Now add cumin seeds and let it crackle keeping it on low flame
Mix everything well
Then add chopped ginger, chopped green chillies and curry leaves and roast on low flame
