Its better to go with jasmine or boiled rice rather than basmati for thayir chadam, since basmati is very favorful and overwhelms the curd/yogurt taste. And try Kadag manga (baby mangoes in chili powder and salt solution) as the accompaniment. Krishnan To add to nitya’s suggestions.

I am definitely going to try it cold with all the add-ins! PN, I like Kalustyan's, but to be honest, the immigrant in me is appalled by how much they want to charge me for a bag of cardamom among other things, when I can pay a fraction of that in Jackson Heights. It's almost too clean there :) Besides, it's always a good excuse to eat at Jackson Diner. Nitya, thanks for the compliments and teaching me the name of the actual dish.

Though, to mix things up for the seasons: it's also pretty good mixed with buttermilk and ginger and green chilies and fried mustard seeds, refrigerated and eaten cold on a hot summer's day.
