Curd Rice Recipe | Thayir Sadam

Curd Rice is a South-Indian dish ,that is prepared using curd ,and rice as its main ingredients. At first, I had this dish from Tamil Nadu. In Tamil Nadu, it is known as Thayir Sadam.

Research tells us Curd contains proteins more than milk. Also, curd contains good proteins that support gut health, and are easy to digest. Nowadays, in hypermarkets, we can see so many flavorful yogurts. Most of them are confused between curd and yogurt.

Both are not the same. Curd has some loose texture, and it's prepared by fermentation in a less controlled way. While yogurt has a thick consistency texture, and it is prepared in a more controlled way. Curd is prepared in most homes nowadays. It can be prepared by curdling the milk with an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar whereas Yogurt is created by bacterial fermentation of milk by using yogurt culture.

Since Curd and yogurt both have probiotic content, they possess similar health benefits. Curd is used to prepare a wide variety of dishes.People of Kerala use it with vegetables to prepare Pachadi, Moru Kachiayathu -like dishes. Do not overheat or boil curd , as it loses its protein structure which is bad for health.
