How Curd Rice fits in your diet
A 1 bowl (~200 g) of curd rice contributes about 10% of a 2,000-kcal daily target and roughly 14% of an average adult's 50 g daily protein floor. Typically made with rice, yogurt, mustard seeds, curry leaves, ginger.
Cooked rice mixed with yogurt, tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves. For a balanced Indian plate, pair it with a protein source (dal, paneer, eggs or chicken), a sabzi and a small portion of curd or salad. Restaurant or street-style versions can run 20–40% higher in calories because of extra oil, ghee or cream — adjust portion size accordingly.
