Curd Rice 
Curd rice has always been my favourite eversince my hostel days in Andhra.Phaps the coolest thing in our hostel menu was curd rice.
Often it is a wonderful soother for our tumultous intestines after having some of those hot stuffs which make you weep! The fact that it is easier to make, makes it all the more welcome for most housewives when they want to chill out for a day.
