Bagala Bhath | Curd Rice | Thayir Sadam

Bagala bhath or curd rice requires no introduction, it is the best comfort food in the world according to me.

In hot and humid weather conditions in India this rice serves by cooling down the body and thus preventing heat stroke.

The probiotic microbes in the curd help to maintain a healthy gut by aiding in digestion process.
