The humble curd rice is a brilliant way to bloat up that ponch of yours without all that tedious mucking about with Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters. The recipe is simple too.
Take one helping of cooked rice fresh from the cooker but cooled to slightly above room temperature.
Nicely spread it around the plate for max. surface area.
Add roasted curry leaves, spices and condiments from the Anjarapetti and watch it crackle over the rice.
Pour into it one measure of thick, solid curd and watch it alchemize into rice and spices. Take care not to let it mix with the pickle. Not yet.
Drop in half a spoon of Avakkai thokku for touching. This is Indian Manga, don't confuse it with the Japanese.
Make a circular hole of diameter 2cm and pour hot, spicy sambhar into it, in memory of all bongs who have died eating sweet curd rice (Mishti Dhoyi) all their life. Ugh.
Sprinkle coriander leaves and chopped onion, reminiscent of all things kickass.
Eat moderately fast, as others might finish it.

Alternate recipe which tastes just as good (but only after class):
One cup curd from the mess, one helping of semi-cooked rice. Mash up. Lays chips. Eat like a boss (Don't mind if others crack curd rice jokes while stealing chips). Take an ice cream (for awesome afternoon-sleep-induced dreams).

Why is curd rice a good conversation starter?
Because it's called Dhahi Baath. Yeah.
