    Millet curd rice in bagalabath style to make it extra special. Samai, little millet made to a delicious thayir sadam with added pomegranate and nuts.

    One simple dish but many names😉. Curd rice, Bagalabath, thayir sadam what ever we name it. Its just delicious and almost life to many. Vj can’t even imagine any lunch without curd rice. I am sure its same for many out there. I wanted to finish up the millets fast that I had in stock. So I made this long time back, but kept postponing as its too simple to share.

    But someday I have to post right? I have already posted Thayir sadam/ curd rice before. This one is also similar but with millets. Whenever I see my MIL packing curd rice for my FIL, she tempers with cashew nuts. I have not tried this before. In my recent trip once I had that curd rice and it was really good.

    I also once had curd rice in a restaurant on the way to our temple trip. It was really a life saver for me with all those travels to keep my tummy safe. It was not sour thankfully and it was so creamy with the same ingredients as I have used here. Forgot the restaurant name sorry.

    Which millet can be used in this recipe?

    Varagu, kuthiraivali also can be used and adapted the same way to make millet curd rice.

      The proportion of millet to water was perfect and it came out very well. I will use this proportion only from now on for cooking millets. Thank you very much for teaching us this.
