My kids do not prefer plain curd rice, may be because it is always available at home, but they enjoy the same curd rice if seasoned or presented differently.
My daughter’s lunch box contains drumstick sambar rice, plantain flower kootu, curd rice. I scooped out the drumstick flesh and kept it in another container to prevent the embarrassment of eating drumsticks at school. Check out more Lunch Box Ideas.
