Curd rice/ thayir sadham


It has been only cakes recipes in my blog lately so I had to take an extra effort to post something different before another cake recipe and this Thayyir sadham which I prepare quite often these days  perfectly fitted the bill. The weather in this part of the world has been super hot and at home I don’t feel like eating  cooking any dinner on a hot day and  this curd rice is a life saver on such days...  a perfect comfort food for a hot day !

Carrot - 2 grated
Cucumber - 1/2 of cucumber ( finely chopped)

oil
Mustard seeds -  1 1/2 tsp
Peanuts -2 tbs ( optional)
Urad dal - 2 tsp
Whole red chilli - 2
