Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked rice, cooled
- 1 cup fresh curd
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp oil
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- 1 dried red chilli
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- ¼ tsp hing
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp pomegranate or grated carrot
- Salt to taste
Method
Cool the rice completely. Hot rice kills the cultures in the curd, which is the whole reason for eating it.
Mash the cooled rice lightly with the back of a spoon.
Mix in the curd and milk until soft and loose. It firms up as it sits.
Heat oil separately, splutter the mustard seeds, then add red chilli, curry leaves, hing and ginger.
Let the tempering cool a little before adding it, for the same reason.
Stir in pomegranate or grated carrot and salt.
If you are lactose intolerant, curd is usually better tolerated than milk, but not always. Your own experience is the guide.

Take the 2-minute check2-minute check
What is going on with your digestion?
Four questions, answered in about a minute.
When does discomfort appear?
Any bloating through the day?
Has your bowel habit changed?
How often do you take an antacid or laxative?
This sounds occasional rather than established
Meal timing, fibre and fluid usually settle it.
A pattern is forming
Regular antacid or laxative use is worth reviewing — it manages the symptom rather than the cause.
This fits an established pattern
Worth proper assessment rather than continued self-medication, particularly if sleep is affected.
This check is an indication, not a diagnosis. It does not replace medical advice.
