Cold drink

With hot summer and soaring temperatures in India, all we want is a cold drink to beat the heat. I know, when we talk about cold drinks, the first thing that comes to mind are those soft drinks that fill the refrigerator. OK, I'm not talking about Pepsi or Coke on kid's blog ;-)....they hardly make our refrigerator. If you already saw the pictures on the post, you guessed it right, it is the refreshing and healthy Buttermilk.

It hardly takes 10 minutes to prepare and makes everyone crave for it to break the heat bubbles on the head. My kids love it...if it's not ready, they patiently wait and watch how their mommy prepares and fills the glass for them to gulp. Try it for yourself....

Ingredients:   

• 3 or 4 cups home made curd/yogurt
• Coriander leaves
• 1/2 or 1 Green chilli (optional)
• Salt
• 2 tbsp Cumin seeds(jeera) 
• 1 inch Ginger
• And of course the precious cold water

Yummy....home made curd:

More green chillies in the plate are to make it picture perfect. Measurements are as per user discretion ;-).

Preparation:   

Make paste of ginger, jeera, green chilli and coriander leaves with little bit water. Add curd, salt and more water and run the mixer for few more seconds. Strain the buttermilk.

 

Refrigerate the buttermilk and serve it whenever you want.
