Masala Majjige | Indian Spiced Buttermilk

0
I am back with another cooling recipe for the hot summer. It's yet another simple and humble drink majjige (butter milk). On a hot and humid day nothing works like a chilled buttermilk. It's low in calories and very good for digestion and keeps the body cool.


Ingredients:
Buttermilk: 2 large glasses
Ginger: 1 inch
Coriander leaves: 2 tbsp
Green chilli: 1
Salt to taste

Method:

1. Take ginger, coriander leaves, green chillies and salt in a pestle and crush roughly.

2. Take buttermilk in a mixer jar and mix the crushed masalas and whisk for a min and chill it in the refrigerator.

Delicious butter milk is ready to gulp down.




Notes:
1. If you do not have buttermilk, please take curd in the mixer jar, add enough water and whisk for 2 minutes.

2. Instead of crushing the masala in the pestle you can also add it in the mixer jar and pulse it before adding the buttermilk.

3. For variations you can add cumin seeds or mint leaves. or you can also add a tempering of mustard and curry leaves before serving.

Bonda Sharbat | Tender coconut Drink

0
Tender coconut water or bonda/elneeru as called in Udupi/Mangalore is a refreshing drink in itself. But this simple drink made by adding Lemon, Sugar, Salt and Icecubes takes it to a different level. The temperature is still high in this part of the world and it's very humid. This drink is the best way to keep hydrated.


Ingredients
Tender coconut water : 2 glass
Ice cubes: 6-8
Sugar: 1 tsp
Lemon juice: 1 tbsp
Salt: 1/4 tsp
Cardamom powder (optional) : 2 pinches.

Method:
1. Add all the ingredients in a pot except ice cubes and mix it until sugar is dissolved in the water.

2. Add ice cubes in the glass and pour the drink.

3. Sit back and enjoy the refreshing drink:)



Notes:

1. You can add finely chopped tender coconut pieces to the drink.
2. Cardamom powder is optional for flavor only. It can be done without it.
3. I have used Thai Coconut water which is quite sweet, adjust the amount of sugar.
