Notes
Do not add cold milk to the hot rice.Heat milk and add it. (milk gives richness to the curd rice).Before adding curd, ensure the rice is cooled down, because adding curd to hot rice may not be friendly to your stomach.Avoid using green chilies if you are making curd rice for kids. You can adjust the milk, curd and water quantity as per your need.If you are packing for lunch box, I would suggest for more milk and less curd.
