Tips

• Don't add curd to the hot rice. It will leave water.
• Before serving the rice, add fruits and veggies to the curd rice and mix it well then serve. 
• In summer season, add very  little sour cream to the rice. 
• You can add more milaghai to the seasonings. It will increase the flavor and taste to the curd rice.
• Always mix the rice with big spoons. Don't use your hands for mixing the rice. It will become too sour.
