How to make the Thayir Sadam
Wash and soak the rice for 15 - 20 mins. Pressure cook with water for 3 whistles. Let the pressure fall down.
Once the pressure falls down, add the salt and curds, mix with a ladle to ensure the rice is fully mashed. I normally used a thick ladle to press it down. YOu can use a dal masher as well.
Let it cool down further under fan, slowly add the milk and continue mashing it down, until you get a smooth flowing consistency. Let it continue to get cooled down.
Prepare the tempering.
Heat a pan with ghee, simmer and add all the tempering ingredients starting with dals and chilies. Saute well for the ingredients to get cooked. Pour this over the cooked curd rice.
Mix the curd rice again to ensure the tempering is completely mixed well.
Depending on the consistency, add more milk and salt if required.
We do not taste if its for Neivedyam.
Notes:
Along with this, we also add pomegranate arils, green grapes, grated carrots.
