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.
