Spiced up Butter - Milk

Thinned Butter milk with a pinch of salt taste ultimate,cools even a deadly summer.Think how it wud be when spiced up with ginger,onion & mango...?Curious about the taste?!!Come lets beat this summer with spicy-tangy butter milk.Adding this to summer - fest beverages.

I always use thinned butter milk to get off the thirst and for the special,unique taste.I wud say,thick butter milk gives the taste of lazzy and it wont rises the taste when spiced up.Hence i use 1 cup of beaten curd  with 1 1/2 cups of water,this ratio really works and always tempts me to have some more... Pack this when u go out for shopping,u will feel completely energetic and refreshed.



Ingredients:

For making 6 cups


1.Beaten curd................2 cups

2.Water.................3 to 4 cups

3.Salt to taste

4.Grated Ginger ...............1/4 tbsp

5.Green chillies...................1/4 tsp(optional)

6.Finely chopped small onion............2 to 4 tbsp

7.Grated mango.............2 to 4 tbsp

8.Grated cucumber...........4to 5 tbsp

9.Hing/asafotida........2 pinch

10.Very finely chopped coriander........3 tbsp

11.Very finely chopped curry leaves........ 2 tbsp

12.Lime juice.........1 tsp(optional)






Procedure:

Mix up all the ingredients one by one,stir it and allow this to set for 15 to 20 minutes.

Note: If u can,use vadi kanji(rice porridge) instead of water,that will add more taste and very healthy too.

Serve chilled or unchilled.

Give a stir with a spoon before each sip so that u get the crunchy bite every time and also they don't settle / float in the glass.Fight this summer with such home made,natural,fresh beverages!!Njoy the summer :-)
