If you are looking for a perfect thirst quencher, then this drink is the right choice. Traditionally this drink is made by adding crushed chillies, curry leaves and ginger directly in this. Since i dont like them to catch in my mouth whole, i just add the juice from them. This way you could get them in your mouth. You can mix them with rice and have too. It is perfect for summer.
Check out my seasoned buttermilk recipe too.
