Salty buttermilk drink is another favorite summer drink in India. It helps to improve indigestion and cool down during the hot summer. It can be consumed throughout the year.
The buttermilk we get here from the supermarket is really thick and creamy. So to make a summer drink we need to add a good amount of chilled water. When you are making check your buttermilk consistency and add more or less water accordingly. Homemade buttermilk that is made from homemade curd or yogurt is usually not that thick, for that less water is needed to add. If you are making from the curd, adjust consistency how you like.
This is my husband's recipe. He loves salty buttermilk, but one day he added mango pickle and amazed me. That it was super yummy. For this recipe, you need a good sweet-spicy, and tangy store-bought mango pickle.
