• ¼ cup Milk (optional, for a creamier texture)

• 1 scoop Plantigo Plant Protein Powder for Muscle Gain – Unflavoured

For Tempering:

• 1 tsp Oil or Ghee

• ½ tsp Mustard Seeds

• ½ tsp Cumin Seeds

Steps to Make the High-Protein Cucumber Curd Rice Recipe:

1. Cook and Cool the Rice:

Cook rice until soft and slightly mushy. Let it cool completely before mixing to prevent the curd from turning sour.

2. Prepare the Protein Mix:

In a bowl, whisk curd, milk, and Plant Protein until smooth. Add salt and stir well to create a creamy, high-protein yogurt base.

3. Combine Rice and Curd Mixture:

Add the cooked rice and grated cucumber to the protein-rich curd mix. Blend thoroughly until the rice is evenly coated. Adjust consistency with a splash of milk if needed.

4. Temper for Flavor:

Heat oil or ghee in a small pan. Add mustard seeds, cumin, green chilies, ginger, curry leaves, and hing. Once they splutter, pour this tempering over the curd rice and mix gently.

5. Garnish and Serve:

Top your curd rice recipe with coriander, roasted cashews, or pomegranate for a refreshing finish. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
