1. Always use thick curd for creamy curd rice.
2. Heat milk before adding. Milk prevents the curd rice turning sour.
3. You can also add roasted cashew and raisins. Instead of veggies, you can add fruits like grapes and pomegranate.
4. Also slightly overcook the rice, so that it can be mashed easily.
5. Adding butter gives a restaurant-style rich and creamy curd rice recipe.
