Rice with yogurt

Yogurt rice is a traditional dish that combines the soft texture of rice with the freshness and creaminess of yogurt, providing a unique and refreshing flavor. Its origin dates back to different regions of India, where similar dishes, known as "curd rice" or "thayir sadam," are very popular among home-cooked meals. In Latin America, although the exact combination is not so common, there are variants that mix rice with dairy, and in some countries it is simply known as "rice with yogurt" or "rice with cream," adapting the recipe according to local ingredients.

This recipe is not only delicious but also very nutritious, ideal for warm climates or as a light side dish. The use of spices such as mustard seeds and serrano chili adds a touch of special flavor that perfectly complements the smoothness of the yogurt. The preparation is simple, making it a practical option for any occasion.
