    This is in fact not a recipe at all. This is the most common way when we enjoy our leftover rice on hot summer days. Right now it is raining her but few weeks back summer was at its peak here.

Next day i just add salt and curd..This is such a cooling dish, you can almost instantly feel the soothing effect of it.
