Notes

  • Notes
  • To make yogurt rice creamier, substitute half of the water with milk. 
  • Urad Daal can be skipped or substituted with cashews.
  • Curry leaves are not the same as curry powder, so if you do not have curry leaves you can skip them.
  • While you can add more green chilies for a spicier taste, you can also skip them for mild yogurt rice.
