Curd rice

Method

1. 1 Cook the rice until it's softer than usual, then gently mash it while it's still warm; the broken rice grains will blend better with the yogurt.
2. 2 Mix the fresh milk into the warm rice first, let it cool completely before adding the yogurt; adding yogurt to hot rice will make it too sour and cause it to separate.
3. 3 Toast the mustard seeds until they pop, then add the urad beans, sliced green chilies, minced ginger, and curry leaves.
4. 4 Drop the raisins into the pan for 20 seconds to puff them up.
5. 5 Pour the mixture over the rice, season with salt, and let it chill for 15 minutes before serving.
