daddojanam recipe | andhra style curd rice | bagalabath with detailed photo and video recipe. a traditional temple style curd rice recipe made with mashed rice and whisked yogurt. it is typically made in south indian temple and served as prasadam and hence made with minimal and particular ingredients. having said that the dish can also be served as a lunch box meal or even for morning breakfast with leftover rice.
curd rice has been stapled for many and is a must meal for many even today. basically, most of the south indians meal finish with a small scoop of curd rice or just mix the rice with thick curd and a hint of pickle. it helps to lower the temperature after having a spicy and savoury meal with rasam and sambar. the same principle applies in south indian temples too. so most of the south indian temple offers daily lunch or meal to the incoming devotee’s. typically these meals begin with a spicy rasam or dal and end with soothing and creamy curd rice. daddojanam recipe is one such simple curd rice where it is made without those ingredients which we cannot have it during fasting or festival season. yet it is one of the creamy/tasty complete meal.
anyway, i would like to add some tips, suggestions and variations for a creamy daddojanam recipe. firstly, if you are making this recipe for lunch box and not for any auspicious occasion, then i would recommend using leftover rice. the main reason being you do not have to wait for the rice to cool completely when compared to freshly cooked rice. also, make sure to use fresh and creamy curd else curd rice will taste sour. lastly, i would heavily recommend using sona masuri or ponni raw rice and do not attempt with basmati rice.
