Coriander leaves
Curry leaves ..... 1 sprig
Asafoetida .... a pinch
Mustard seeds ..... 1tsp.
Dry red chillies .... 3-4
Salt ... to taste
Sugar .... 1 tsp.(optional)
Oil .... 1 tbsp.

Method:
1. Wash and soak the rice for 1-2 hours.
2. Cook to a soft consistency. Let it cool.
3. Mix the curd, salt, sugar, chopped coriander leaves and grated ginger.
4. Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds, asafoetida, red chillies and curry leaves.
