Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
This food was and is common for picnics in our house. During child hood, once in 2 months, my mother and her sisters and cousins always arranged for short picnics. There used to be so many relatives.
And we were about 15 cousins. We always had great fun. There were variety of dishes prepared by our grannys, packed nicely and systematical. We visited fields, farm houses or temples. If nothing, we used to meet in some one's house at least. Those were the days!!!, I never wish to forget! This "curd rice ball" was common, as it was easy to keep in our hand. We used to run and play while holding it in the hand and eating.

Here is the recipe,
Rice - 2 cups(cooked with more water)
Fresh curds - 1/2 cup
Milk - 1/4 cup
Onion - 1 medium (chopped)
Garlic - 3 to 4 flakes
(Optional, skip it if you do not like the garlic taste!!, but tastes great with garlic.)
Green chilly - 1
Fresh coriander - 1 hand full
Curry leaves - few
Sugar - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Mix ready rice, curds, milk, sugar and salt in a bowl.
Crush garlic, green chilly, fresh coriander and curry leaves together. Mix it with rice.
Adjust the quantity of curds and milk. After mixing, the rice should not be very watery, as we need to make balls. Keep aside for half an hour. Make balls and serve in the hands.
Great refresher for the summer!!
These curd rice balls are rolling to silpa of Anita' s Kitchen APS- Rice Event.
Keep smiling,
