Garlic buttermilk (Taka kadi) - 2 Garlic buttermilk (Taka kadi) - 3

Spicy buttermilk is served after a heavy meal in most of the restaurants in India. Every restaurant has different way of making it. I tried and tried to get the taste which I liked. Finally I zeroed it on this recipe which we always liked.

Ingredients: 2 cups buttermilk 1″ piece ginger 2-3 green chillies Salt 1-2 strands coriander leaves

Method: Add finely chopped ginger, coriander leaves, chilies and salt to buttermilk (Alternatively, blend/grind all the ingredients together). Add sufficient water to make it thin. If needed a pinch of asafoetida( hingu ) can be added.

Serves : 1-2 Preparation time : 5min
