Got a lot of left-over rice that you don’t know what to do with? Make Yogurt Rice!! It’s simple and satisfying. Eat Yogurt Rice (Dahi Bhaat) with a little mango pickle – it’s yummy!
Ingredients:
Rice – 3 cups, cooked and lightly mashed
Yogurt – 2 cups, beaten
Salt – to taste
Oil – 3 tsp
Rai (Mustard Seeds) – ½ tsp
Whole Red Chili - 1
Hing (Asofoetida) – pinch
Channa Daal – 1 tsp
Urad Daal – 1 tsp
Curry Leaves – 1 sprig
Green Chilies – 1 or 2 to taste, finely chopped
Ginger – ½ tsp, grated
Cilantro – 2 sprigs, chopped
Method:
- Heat left-over Rice in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add Yogurt and Salt and mix well.
- Heat Oil in a small pan.
- Add Rai and allow it to sputter.
- Add Whole Red Chili and Hing.
- Add Channa Daal and Urad Daal and cook until the Daals turn light brown.
- Add Curry Leaves, Green Chilies and Ginger – mix well and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the above mixture to the Rice and Yogurt – mix well.
- Garnish with chopped Cilantro leaves.
- Serves 2-3
Tips:
- If the Rice and Yogurt mixture is looking a little dry, add a little Milk to thin it down. The Milk also helps to cut the tartness of the Yogurt.
- For a variation, mix in some Pomegranate Seeds. They add a lot of color and sweetness to the dish.

You can jazz up the rice with a few cut green grapes and apple, fried cashews and raisins too.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
can’t find asafetida powder at the grocery store, but compound asafetida. It’s a solid cube. How can I use it? Can I add a slice of it to the hot? it is not just for this recipe, but for all the recipes that requires hing.
Thanks for your kindness
Regards
Federica

Hi Federica,
You can take the compounded asafoetida and pound it with a mortar/pestal. It usually powders very easily.

I did a mistake, a mean, “can I add a slice of it to the hot oil?”
thanks again

No, it must be powdered. The flavor of asafoetida is so strong, that if you happen to bite into the slice you will probably never want to eat it again! But when it mixes in with the entire dish, the subtle flavor is awesome.
