Step 1
In a large bowl, mash the 2 cups cooked rice with a fork or your hands until slightly broken up.
Step 2
Add the 1 cup yogurt and 0.25 cup milk to the rice. Mix well until the rice is coated and creamy. Season with 0.5 teaspoon salt.
Step 3
Heat the 1 tablespoon oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and cook until they splutter, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the 10 curry leaves and 1 slit green chili to the pan. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant and the leaves turn crisp.
Step 5
Pour the hot tempering over the rice mixture. Stir to combine everything evenly.
Step 6
Serve immediately, or chill for 15 minutes for a cooler version. Garnish with red chili flakes if desired.
