CURD RICE

Curd Rice image

I love eating curd since I was a baby and Sindhi papad is a "Must have" with every meal. I make nearly 10 papads everyday. I like this recipe because it is sooo easy to make, so good, especially in summer months, it has curd which is something I love and it is believed by many South Indians to be good for health as well. 99/100 South Indians have this with every meal everyday:)
