Last night I had some left over rice and my husband asked me to make some light food in dinner. I tried making Curd Rice from the leftover rice. It was so super tasty that we finished it all at once. The best part was the tangy taste of the curd mixed with whole spices and rice.

About Chef

Heena Bharat

Good food creates good memories and can win many hearts. Though basic cooking started in my Mumbai days, but being in Germany for few years, I started missing all Indian food especially street food. This has made me trying new and new dishes at home and even during the lockdown period in india, it has proved to be the need of the hour!!
