Curd Rice Recipe

Today I kind of felt very tired so did not cook lunch for my husband. But then I had to eat something for lunch. My all time favourite dish is curd rice and I thought I will eat the same. It is one of the dish which requires very less of work from our side. Most of the time, when I do not have mood to prepare food for me I will go with curd rice.

Now add urad dal and dry red chillies. Then add curry leaves.
