Pomegranate is one of those fruits that I ate a lot while growing up. We’d buy them in cartons and my grand mom would very patiently extract the seeds and keep them loosely covered in steel bowls on the dining table so the kids could eat a spoonful whenever they passed by. This also meant I never really learnt how to cut open a pomegranate and get the seeds out easily.
During my internship days in Bangalore, I’d often buy curd rice with pomegranates in them from Sukh Sagar and similar South Indian restaurants, which were the only ones I could really afford. Those meals were the most comforting during those days I missed home food terribly.
To make Bagala Bath:
Mix some salt to the curd and mix well. Mix the rice well in this. I don’t like mashing up the rice so I leave it whole. Temper mustard seeds, urad dal and red chillies. Let it cool and then add to the rice mixture. Chop some coriander leaves finely and mix it well with this. (I prefer coriander leaves to curry leaves in my curd rice). Finally, top it off with some pomegranate seeds and mix well before serving.
Hey Nags!! That last picture is amazing!!! Sometimes these one clicks are so beautiful aren't they!!I love banana with curd rice but would like to try your combo
Thanks a lot Anagha. Love your name!
Hi Nags(not sure of your name!),
Your curd rice is really pleasing, you make sure the tempering is added after cooling.. thats great.
I searched for paneer butter masal and found your site and I must say you have done a wonderfull job. Its so pleasing to go through the recipes… surely will prepare some and let you know.
Naan recipe is interesting too.
Nimi.
Nice blog
This looks so tasty…. and beautiful!
Hi Naga, I have seen this before. Infact I got the idea to use cherries for my curd rice post from this, though Ravi always enjoys fruits with curd rice. I love the pictures in this post!:-)
you can add black grapes too.
looks so pretty and yummy. Nice work with photoshop.
Even the curd rice looks multi-color. Nice combo.
Yum! This was pretty much the comfort food post that I wrote about last month 🙂
That pic of the pomegranate is awesome!

I have added pomegranet to my raita but never thought to have it with my curd rice! Good idea 🙂 will try it soon 🙂
Hey Nags I sure did use a heart shaped mould – I dont think I would have managed without one unlike your cute luking hand shaped shortbreads. They luk so perfect 🙂

Have fun with Photoshop. You will be introduced to a world thats pure delight and surprise.
Adding pomegranates, apples, grapes to curd rice makes it so delicious, specially if we pack it for a picnic on a warm summer day.

There is nothing like curd rice. And love pomegranate too. I make raita and salads with it.

You know last night, after eating all the fancy food outside the whole weekend, came home and had just plain yogurt and rice!! 😀
Curd rice looks yum!:)
Nags..the pics are great…love the water droplets in the first pic.
I love unmashed rice..and haven’t had this combo.
Your pix certainly stand out! I love the fruit in curd rice. Thanks for the entry, Nags!
I too bought some photo software recently but am yet to use it – I’m so tech-unsavvy I can’t even follow instructions! Turns out there’s a separate CD for the user manual!!!
I’ve been wanting to start using photoshop…but I too have been putting that off for a lo..ng time.
Nice pics! but I will stick to cucumber (if anything at all) in my curd rice! 🙂
You know what, I love anaar over rice, n do it all the time, especially with plain rice – they are a treat to the eyes – the red n white combo. Neat pics
Oh…I was planning on this and you beat me to it…by the way nice pictures..not that your previous ones were not good…
Hey Nags!! That last picture is amazing!!! Sometimes these one clicks are so beautiful aren’t they!!I love banana with curd rice but would like to try your combo
