Curd rice

Okay kiddo, have you ever eaten rice before? It's a yummy grain that people eat all around the world. But have you ever heard of curd rice? It's a delicious dish from India that lots of people love to eat.

So, curd rice starts with regular cooked rice that's been cooled down. Then, we mix it with something called curd, which is like a kind of yogurt. Curd has good bacteria in it that helps our tummies feel good and healthy. We mix the curd and the rice up really well, so it's all blended together nicely.

But we're not done yet! We add some yummy spices like cumin, mustard seeds, and sometimes even some fresh ginger. We also sometimes add in veggies like carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes. These things give the curd rice even more flavor and texture.

Once it's all mixed up, we let it sit for a little while so all the flavors can blend together. Then, it's ready to eat! Some people like to eat it cold, but some prefer it a little warm. Either way, it's a tasty and healthy meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner.

So, there you have it kiddo! Curd rice is just rice mixed with curd, spices, and veggies. It's a yummy and healthy dish from India that lots of people enjoy.
