Oggaranne Mosaranna / Curd Rice with tadka!!!

A simple south indian traditional dish & also the best food to eat for the below reasons:

1. When your tummy is upset;
2. Helps your body cool down on a hot summer;
3. A lazy persons best friend ;-)

Many of the temples in south india also do give this dish as a prasadam.  Do try it out once & I hope you would like it. 

Ingredients:

Cooked Rice - 2 cups
Thick & fresh curd - 1 cup
Milk - 3/4th cup
Ginger - 2 tsps, grated
Fresh Coriander - 1 tbsp, finely chopped
Green Chillies - 2, slit length-wise
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Ghee - 2 tsps.
Mustard - 1 tsp
Uddina bele/Urad Dal - 2 tsps.
Hing/Asafoetida - a pinch
Salt to taste

Method:

Heat ghee in a pan, add mustard & once it crackles add the bele/dal, green chillies, curry leaves, hing & fry for a few seconds & add to the cooked rice.  Add the chopped coriander leaves, grated ginger, salt to this & mix well.  Now add the milk & mix well & keep it aside until you plan to serve.  Just before serving, add the fresh curd & mix well & serve immediately along with papad/pickles/balaka or uppu menasinakayi etc.,

Notes:
# Its very important to have the cooked rice cooled down fully to room temperature before mixing with the oggaranne/tadka.
# Never use oil instead of ghee in the oggaranne/tadka for this dish as it gives out a bitter taste after sometime & ghee tadka is what gives you the taste for this dish.
# You can replace green chillies with dry red chillies.
# Adding uddina bele/urad dal is optional, you can also add grated carrot, finely chopped cucumber/tomatoes/onions etc.,
# Don't add the curd in the start as it might turn sour after sometime.
