Method

1
Get ready with cooled leftover cooked rice. Peel and finely chop the shallots, chop the green chillies and coriander leaves, and rinse the curry leaves. Do not use hot rice.
2
Place the cooked rice in a clean bowl or clay pot. Pour in the water so the rice is fully immersed, then loosely cover the vessel. Leave it at room temperature for 10 hours until the rice is soft, lightly sour and has a few small bubbles on top.

Add salt, whisked curd, shallots, green chilli, curry leaves and coriander leaves. Mix for 1 minute until the curd coats the mashed rice evenly. Serve cool.
