Neer more | Spiced buttermilk

Spiced buttermilk taste divine for hot summer. I wanted it to post for so long.., but was hunting for the clay glasses and jug. I got the jug with only one glass, but was OK for clicks :)  If you are buying buttermilk carton, add more water. Since the carton milk would be so thick. As the name suggests spiced buttermilk should be (neer - tamil word means water ) watery. Add chilled water and your taste buds would thank you for serving in this summer.

Neer more is done during Ram navami festival which falls on 6th of April 2014. And Panakam, vadapappu is also done during Ram navami.




Ingredients:
  • Homemade curd or yogurt - 1 cup
  • Salt - to taste
  • Cilantro - to garnish

To grind:
  • Lemon juice - from half lemon or 2 tbsp
  • Green chilly - 1 or 1/2, small
  • Cilantro/coriander leaves - 2 tbsp, chopped roughly
  • Fresh curry leaves - 1 tbsp, chopped roughly
  • Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
  • Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp


Method:

In a blender grind all the ingredients except lemon juice. When it is crushed add lemon juice and 1/4 of water and blend again.
Whip the curd, add salt to taste. Add the crushed spicy mixture to the whipped curd using a filter. Discard the waste. Add plenty of water say 4 to 5 cups and combine well.
Adjust salt and serve chilled. If need garnish with coriander leaves.

Now this water jug is my favorite. Cleaning, filling water always keeps me busy :)) How many of you like this jug?

Note:
  • Adding lemon juice is optional, I just really love that way.
  • Do not add more curry and coriander leaves, the taste should be very mild.

I always prefer natural coolers to the aerated drinks. Your spiced buttermilk sounds perfect indeed to beat the heat.
