Mosaranna or Spiced Yogurt Rice

Mosaranna or spiced yogurt rice is a must have in south indian homes. Mosar means yogurt or curd and anna means rice. A meal without mosaranna is usually incomplete for my Dad. It is usually served at the end of the meal as yogurt is known to have a cooling effect on the body, especially after eating a spicy meal.This recipe is pretty quick and easy and will leave you feeling refreshed.Bon Appetite :)
