FENUGREEK BUTTERMILK(VENTHAYA MOR) - BEAT THE HEAT-SUMMER COOLANT RECIPES

Buttermilk is one of the healthiest drinks which are very common during summer. It is very good to get relief from thirst in a healthy way.

Generally we make neer more (spiced Buttermilk) during summer to cool the way. But there is variety of buttermilk to cool our body in tasty way J.

One among them is this fenugreek buttermilk (Venthaya mor). Yes buttermilk itself is very good coolant. That too with fenugreek, it is a perfect coolant.

while flipping the pages of my written recipe notebook, i happen to see this recipe, along with many other buttermilk recipes one by one. that time itself decided to make all those and post here :)

Hence started this series Beat the Heat.

I want to say one thing we need to consider while drinking buttermilk. Actually buttermilk is not the diluted curd. Perfect buttermilk is in which the fat (Butter) is removed.

Here I want to explain how the buttermilk will be prepared and how the butter been extracted from the curd in house still.

We used to take butter from the curd with a special thing called ‘maththu’(Like whisk) in tamil. In our house there will a plate attached with a pillar, in which two chains will be joined. At the end of the chain there will be hole, where we will insert the maththu handle. In between we will tie a rope and using that rope we have to rotate the maththu. The down part of the maththu will be immersed in the curd and water mixture. While we continuously rotating the maththu, the buttermilk will be whipped and the butter will float on the top. We have to continue till all the butter to be separated. Rest without butter is only the actual butter milk. I tried my level best to explain the procedure. Hope it gives some idea.Will try to update the photos while I going to my native.

Ok now coming to this fenugreek buttermilk recipe.

Serve in mud pot (kalayam in tamil) or glass as per your wish.

NOTES:

• Generally I don’t like to add ice cubes or the buttermilk directly from refrigerator. So didn’t add ice cubes.
• If you want it to be chill you can add one or two ice cubes while serving.
• You can use curd and whisk them for 2 to 5 minutes with water and then use to prepare for the buttermilk.
• You can also filter the buttermilk and serve. But we like as it is.
