Thayir Sadam (Aka Curd Rice) Is Soul Food

Who knew that two plain Jane ingredients could come together to form the most iconic food item in the history of the world. Don’t believe me? There’s an entire sect of people called Brahmins who have a heart attack if you tell them there’s no Thayir Sadam at the end of their meal. We love our Thayir Sadam plain and with a side of mango pickle. But there are loads of ways to add variety to it - there’s often fruits and nuts put in to make it a little more interesting. Good places to try out curd rice are at the Mami Tiffen Stall, Sangeetha and at Hot Chips, or better still just get some curd, make some rice and try it at home.
