Neer Mor
Spicy buttermilk
Another body coolant to cope up with the summer. Neer mor is also made as a special item on Sri Rama Navami (Lord Rama's birthday) Very easy to make and absolutely healthy.
What you will need
250 ml of curd/ plain yogurt
1.25 litres water
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
2 green chilli
1 inch ginger
1 tsp oil

A few curry leaves
1/4th tsp asafoetida powder
How to cook
1
Break the curd. Blend in the water. (You can use a regular wire whisk too) That is your buttermilk!

Add salt & asafoetida. Temper with mustard and curry leaves

TIPS
(1) Add a tsp of jeera/ cumin powder to enhance the taste. (2) If you use store bought curd or yogut, it wont be sour. So add a tsp of lemon juice to the buttermilk to get that sour taste!
