Neeragaram is nothing but fermented rice. During my younger day most of the days, we will have this as my mum has a habit of cooking more rice almost every day. Those days we will have a guest every day. So mostly she will make pacha puli sadam or lemon rice or this neeragaram I love it! esp, I love to have it with pickle or uppu milagai (fired salted chili). I normally have it More/buttermilk & less rice. This is perfect for summer. It has a natural probiotic. Nowadays this is considered as one of superfood

Being of Indian desent I have a preference of how this is cooked at home and this recipe came quite close.
