Cucumber and Carrot Curd Brown Rice, Low Salt Recipe
by Tarla Dalal

On a busy day, a simple bowl of curd rice can come to your rescue by satiating your tummy and keeping you fit! We have enhanced the health quotient of this simple South Indian recipe by making it using brown rice rather than white rice.

A few low-sodium veggies have also been added to make it more nourishing. A traditional tempering that includes ginger and green chillies gives the Cucumber and Carrot Curd Brown Rice a wonderful aroma and flavour too.

In all respects, this is a satiating one-dish meal that you can enjoy occasionally.

You can also occasionally try other rice delicacies like the Nourishing Khichdi and White Gravy Biryani .

A South Indian special with the twist of using brown rice. Nice one! The flavours were truly authentic. I like it chilled, so I refrigerated it for an hour before serving.
