🍳 Instructions
Step 1 - Prep the Rice
Use rice that's been cooled after cooking. This increases resistant starch, which is good for your gut.
Step 2 - Mix Yogurt Base
Whisk yogurt and salt. Fold in rice and gently mix.
Step 3 - Add Tadka (Tempering)
Heat cold-pressed oil. Add mustard seeds, ginger, curry leaves, and chili. Let it crackle, then pour over rice.
Step 4 - Finish with Pickles
Top with DFOLS fermented lemon, garlic, or beet pickle. Serve with a cucumber slice or pomegranate sprinkle if desired.
