Curd [Yogurt] / Buttermilk is a part of almost all our meals. We just cannot live without these two thing!There is fresh yogurt made everyday and the leftover curd is turned into buttermilk the next day .
Usually, we just beat it up a little water and a pinch of salt. But sometimes, when we are in a mood to experiment, flavors are added .
One such day, there was way too much coriander in the fridge.The vendor at the farmers market talked me into buying two bunches of coriander leaves. Though I did not want so much, he sweet talked me into buying it and I did!!
I was sure it half of it would go waste. I turned it into chutney, used it [a lot of it, actually] in rasam and then the last of it was added to make this buttermilk.
Thankfully, the kids are in favor of home made drinks like these and don’t go for cool drinks / other fizzy drinks.
We enjoyed this on a hot summer day, sometime last week, and hence this makes way to Blogging Marathon #77, Week 2, Day 3, with the theme Summer coolers.

So apt for this hot season!..We have these flavored mor and enjoy it with some mango pieces in it too..
This was my favourite drink and flavouring it with coriander makes it even more refreshing . I miss it , since I have turned vegan .
Such a healthy & refreshing flavored buttermilk. Perfect summer treat.
I always stock up buttermilk in Summer.. With Coriander it is so refreshing!!
We make buttermilk every day as the weather in Mombasa is humid. I have stopped stocking sodas and packaged juices at home so whenever I have unexpected guests it’s so easy to whip up buttermilk. One guest thought I was rude serving her buttermilk!
My all time favourite buttermilk, excellent summer drink.
Buttermilk – the life saver for summer. Love the cilantro flavor in it. Very nice
not for me – savory milk but I would love the flavors in food ๐
I love buttermilk its yum. Love what you have here.
