Sambaram
SAVOURY BUTTER MILK -sambaram
Buttermilk is the liquid remnant of what you get after making butter from yogurt. Sambaram is made by adding some spices to the butter milk after churning it. This drink has a very cooling effect on the body especially during summer. In Kerala sambaram or tender coconut (karikke, elaneer ) was the traditional drink before the advent of soft drinks and bottled drinks. This aids in digestion and can be taken after food also so that your stomach wouldn’t feel bloated. It gives you instant energy when you drink it.
