Spiced Buttermilk/ Sambaaram

There is no better way to beat the heat than with some cool buttermilk. Why would anyone want coke and pepsi with all the artificial stuff in it when there is simething all natural which can reduce your body tempreature as well as good for you. I like my buttermilk spiced with just ginger,salt and some bruised curry leaves. My husband likes it with some chopped green chillies as well. Do it any way you like. Stay healthy and happy.

Ingredients:

ButterMilk - 2 cups
Water - 2 cups
Salt - to taste
Curry leaves - scant 20-25 leaves (bruised with your hand)
Coursely mashed ginger - 1 inch piece
Chopped green chilli - 1 (optional)
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and let it rest for 30-45 mins in the refrigerator.
Serve cold.

  11. cool buttermilk..usually make it in the evenings, but never added curry leaves..will try it today with the leaves.

    and guess wat lady? the chicken malabar came out Fab...but i have to admit didnt like the thai coconut milk from WF, doesnt match up to the indian flavor..any other alternative u suggest? maybe grind the coconut to paste and use? wat say?
