Samai Curd Rice is a comforting rice meal made by cooking little millet & then blending with curd and tempered spices. Samai Curd Rice is a healthy alternate & closest in taste to the regular rice.
Samai (Little millet in English, Sama in Telugu, Kutki in Hindi,Same in Kannada, Chama in Malayalam) is my one of the favorites among the millets I buy.I usually make kanji or this curd rice with millets like varagu and samai which is the best and actually there is no much difference in taste , it tastes just like our regular curd rice so this can be another healthy addition to your lunch menu.If you want to know more this millet check out the detailed millets post.
