Utilising leftovers is something that I absolutely enjoy. And more often than not, at my place, there's at least a bowl of rice which always remains. One dish that I thoroughly enjoy making(and eating) with leftover rice is curd rice.

Also known as Thayir Sadam in Tamil and Daddojanam in Telegu, curd rice is a fabulous recipe that can be relished at any point in the day. Just a handful of ingredients is all you need and you're good to go.
