If you have a soft corner for curd rice then this Kuthiraivali Thayir Sadham | Barnyard Millet Curd Rice Recipe is something you will definitely want to try. Even otherwise, this dish is something that is very healthy and pat for the summer!
Curd rice has been my breakfast for as long as I can remember! Only after the kids were born did I switch over to eating other breakfast dishes.Yet even now,when there is left over rice, I prepare seasoned curd rice and have that instead of idli / dosa.
So when the idea of replacing rice with millet was taken into account while noting down recipes for this mega blogging marathon, this was the first dish that came into mind.
I usually don’t add onions while seasoning the curd rice but when I made this one, it looked like a few shallots will add more taste to the dish and hence added it.
