Buttermilk/majjige (Kannada)/Moru (Tamil), is one of the healthy drink that fits into any season. It is 100% healthy no doubt which is done in home or prepared with clean place.
Buttermilk is a good drink as welcome drink, after the food or at any time of the day. It helps to keep the body cool.
There are two types of buttermilk which the first one is salty and mild spicy and the other one is sweet. For sweet buttermilk I have used honey instead of sugar or jaggery.
I have prepared fresh buttermilk and then used it. I have a habbit of collecting the top cream which you get after boiling milk. I do collect the very small quantity of cream from fresh milk everyday and keep that in a small container in freezer. When ever I have the sufficient quantity I shift the cream filled bowls to fridge. (down portion). Then it melts in a day. I put them in a bigger bowl and add little curd to it to turn savoury. Next is to take away the butter from milk. I have an easy method. I change the mixi blade and place the churner blade in side the mixi jar. Then start grinding little amount of savoury cream. Butter is churned out nicely. You can collet the butter and place it in a big bowl of water. Then again you refill the cream, add little water and churn the butter out and take away the butter. Buttermilk is poured out to the big container and butter milk is collected as it is.
Masala Butter milk and Sweet buttermilk Helps to keep the body cool during summer, helps to digest food and it can be served as welcome drink.
