Add asafoetida and turn off heat and immediately add to the curd rice. Stir the tempering into the rice and mix. Adjust salt if required. If the curd rice consistency is too thick, add a few tbsps of water or boiled milk and mix.
4 Garnish with coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds. Serve chilled or at room temperature with pickle or papad.

Kitchen Tips:

If you have prepared the curd rice well in advance, add 1/4 cup milk to the curd rice 10 minutes before serving as milk removes any sourness of the curd. If you eat the curd rice immediately on preparation then there is no need to add milk. You can garnish with finely chopped onions or fruits of your choice like pomegrante or grapes.

Curd Rice is a comforting South Indian rice recipe that makes for a filling complete meal with pickle. During Navratri, Daddojanam (the name Yogurt rice goes by in Andhra) is prepared as a festival food and offered to Goddess Durga.
