Cooking Steps
Rinse the samak rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 15-20 minutes.
Drain the water and add 2 cups of fresh water to the soaked rice. Add salt to taste and cook the rice in a pressure cooker for 2-3 whistles on medium heat. If you do not have a pressure cooker, cook the rice in a pot with a tight-fitting lid until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
Once the rice is cooked, let it cool down to room temperature.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain curd until smooth.
Add the curd to the cooked rice and mix well.
In a small pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
Pour the tempering over the samak curd rice and mix well.
Serve chilled.
