While you can have rice in various forms like biryani, fried rice or the famous Rajma Chawal, everyone wants to go a little easy on their stomach, during the summers. In summer, we generally tend to avoid rich foods and try to eat foods that would keep our stomachs cool. If you want to include rice in your summer diet while not going for anything rich, you can try temple-style curd rice. It is a very revered dish in the southern states and is also often served to guests in the house, with delicious toppings. If you want to make temple-style curd rice at home, we will provide you with the recipe.
