Dahi bhaat (curd rice)

Well, after the BBQ in the afternoon, we were too full to have any good appetite for the dinner.
So my friend suggested we make curd rice which has a soothing effect on the stomach.

Ingredients:
1 cup of white rice
2 chopped green chillies
1 and half cup of curds or plain yogurt
1/2 cup of milk
1/4 cup of ghee or melted butter
1 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
2 tablespoon moong dal (split pigeon peas)
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
3-4 curry leaves
Salt to taste
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro leaves

Method:
1. Cook the rice with 2 and half cups of water
2. For seasoning, heat ghee in a pan
3. Add mustard and cumin seeds and cook until the seeds splutter
4. Add green chillies, curry leaves, ginger paste and moong dal and cook for 2 minutes
5. In a working bowl, add the cooked rice and loosen it with your fingers
6. Add the seasoning, yogurt, milk and salt and mix well
7. Garnish with cilantro

Serve with pickles, roasted udid papads
