Tomato Curd Rice
Curd Rice/Dhadojanam is one of the popular offerings to god in many festivals,this dish is very similar to our curd rice but we add little tadka to give an extra flavor to the simple curd rice.Many like me n my hubby dont like to have curd rice/dhadojanam unless served with a curry which makes to change the color n taste of the plain curd rice.For people like us I wana share this recipe...
My hubby experimented this recipe many times and used have it atleast twice a week when he was a bachelor and later he told me this recipe and from then I too liked this different taste of tomato curd rice.

Dont need any pickle to go with it.Tips:
1.Use Milk instead of water this helps the dish to be fresh and tasty upto a day.When we use water to mix curd rice the dish may turn sour after few hours.
2.Dont mix milk and curd when the rice is hot this may spoil da dish as the milk may curdle.So make sure to add the milk when the rice is cool.
