Spiced South Indian Buttermilk

This vibrant, spiced buttermilk is a South Indian staple that’s as soothing as it is flavorful. Made by whisking together yogurt and water until frothy, it’s infused with green chilies, ginger, curry leaves, and a tempering of mustard seeds for that signature kick. Fresh coriander adds brightness, while a pinch of asafoetida deepens the aroma. Served chilled, it’s the perfect antidote to summer heat or a spicy meal — light, tangy, and packed with gut-friendly goodness.
