Curd Rice Seasoning

If we are affected from cold or cough, we usually avoid taking curd or buttermilk. In those times the body produces heat and somehow we have to balance that issue. This Curd seasoning recipe can be taken even when you are affected by cold. Its not like a regular seasoning as we add only mustard, turmeric and curry leaves. Here I have included some cold soothing things with this recipe which cures cold or cough. I usually give this curd rice to my child when she has cold.
