To prepare Curd Rice Recipe With Mint Flavor, first we need to wash and soak rice for 15 minutes.
Once the rice is soaked, take a deep pan or rice cooker, add 1 and 1/4 cups of water, soaked rice, mint leaves and pinch of salt in it.
Cook rice till it is completely cooked soft. Now whisk the curd without adding water since this recipe needs a thick yogurt.
Mash the rice lightly and when rice is cooled completely, add whisked yogurt and milk to it.
For Tempering, heat oil in a tadka pan. Once the oil is hot, add mustard and let it splutter.
Then add fresh mint leaves, carrot, coriander leaves, curry leaves and salt mix for a few seconds and switch off heat.
Now pour the seasoning to the curd and rice mixture and mix well, then keep the mixed curd rice with tadka into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or till cold.
After this, Garnish them with Pomegranate seeds and few more mint leaves.
