Neer Majjige [pronounced-Majji-gay] is nothing but spiced / flavored buttermilk. It is also known as Majjige.
Owing to the sweltering heat, this is the beverage that has replaced my usual 11am coffee. As much as I love coffee, I am not able to think of it in this heat. And with the kids on vacation , I am looking for ways to increase their food and beverage intake.
Each day I make different versions of this spiced buttermilk, adding or
leaving out ingredients so that the buttermilk tastes different
everyday.Today’s post is one of the variations that I made a few days ago.
This simple yet cooling beverage is for the letter N in the Mega Marathon – Journey Through The Cuisines,where I am doing an A-Z recipe posts through the cuisine of Karnataka.
I used:
Mosaru / Yogurt – 1 cup
Neeru / Water- 11/2 cup
Kothambari soppu / Coriander leaves- a handful
Pudina elegalu / Mint leaves – from 2 sprigs
Sonti / Ginger – 1″ piece
Uppu / Salt to taste
Menasin pudi / Red chili powder – to garnish
Blend everything except the red chili powder. Serve chilled garnished with a pinch of red chili powder and a few mint leaves.
Note:
- I don’t mind sipping into the bits and pieces of the herbs,but you can filter it and serve if preferred.
This post also goes to the A-Z Challenge

Wow all rama navami specialsa? superb. Perfect for summer too.
Spiced buttermilk is looking refreshing and healthy.
Never tried ginger in buttermilk. Will try it next time. Btw, is sonti dry ginger or fresh ginger? in Telugu it is dry ginger.
Spicy, flavorful majjige. Definitely a healthy and smart choice over coffee. ☺
