I love cucumber, i love chaas, and it gives a ' what an idea sirjee ' effect when i can have a combination of the two. This is one amazing chatakdaar drink you would make pretty often once you have tried it if you are a chaas fan.
Chaas or buttermilk or 'mor' whatever you call it, iam sure many of you would be a fan of this drink which is like a life saver in the summers. And when i saw Sailus post on her article being published at Marie Claire, wow, this lady is something, you have to have a look at those 6 coolers, each onw is a sure hit, and the pics, the setting for each pic is so creative and beautiful, you just cannot take your eye off that. I have tried almost each one of them, a few being common in southi indian households, but this one was new to me and a mega hit with me and Garg, we even prepared this one for our favorite uncle when he visited us :)
Ingredients:1 large tender cucumber, skinned and cut into small peices
½ lt cold buttermilk (i used amul chaas and a little nestle yogurth)
1 inch cube ginger grated
1 pinch black pepper powder
1/2 tsp roasted jeera powder
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1/2 tsp chat masala
1 pinch black salt(optional)
few ice cubes
Method:1. Whip the above ingredients well till the cucumber is crushed well.
2. Serve in glassed topped with ice cubes and coriander leaves.
Sailu suggests using some curry leaves for garnishing as it enhances the flavor, i didnt coz i didnt have it then.
Off this goes to Siri deary for her Yogurt event
Hope you have plans to vote for you favorite in Open Sesame 2, can have a look at my Tomato Shorba, The last date is 5th July. Register with Dining Hall if you haven't yet.
Recipes Flash:All you baniya people, the yummy baniyon wala aloo there for you by the Pukka baniyani DelhiBelle:), see i did a ailaan.
How many of you wanted to try eggplant with pasta or spaghetti, well i did, and divya has one spaghetti with eggplant to offer.
Bhags made my fav fav fav Dal Palak and has a very interesting post to which most of us can relate to.
