In South India, a lunch or dinner is incomplete without Curds.
Curd rice is a very popular and must dish for South Indians. Normally it is just plain rice added with curds.
But on special occasions & festivals curd rice is tempered and also added with fresh fruits which gives a lot of flavor and additional taste.
I usually temper it , garnish it with coriander and add pomegranate & grapes during seasons.
It also tastes good with just tempering & garnishing. This is made along with Bisibele Baath OR Puliyogre because it gives a taste of coolness after a spicy dish.
In Karnataka it is called BakalaBaath and also made as Dadhyodhanam in South Indian Temples (for prasaadam).
