Perfect summer refreshing beverage “Spicy Buttermilk”. I love homemade buttermilk, because it can be prepared according to our wish by giving many flavors to it. This recipe goes well with both spicy & sweet by adding fresh fruits / vegetables / spices, which is really refreshing & healthy too. For example, the green chili helps to boost our metabolic rate & cools the body, ginger & cumin powder helps for digestion, mint & cilantro gives flavor to the drink and fenugreek helps to regulate blood sugar level in our body. It’s a healthy & low fat drink, in India the buttermilk served in the clay pot, which is a natural way of life.
