Dahi-butti/Dahi-Bhat/ curd-rice

Dahi- Butti(Curd-rice)

General practice is to convert left over rice into dahi-butti next day. Basically the cooked rice which is used for dahi-butti should be separate(mokLa) and there should not be any moisture in it.
If you prepare fresh and spread it on a plate to cool for 1-2 hours before tempering ,it's OK.
The curd should not be too sour.

1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup curd
1/2 cup milk
1/2 inch ginger(slices)


Tempering

1 tsp ghee
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp asafoetida
1 dry red chili
