Cucumber Buttermilk

Cucumber Buttermilk is a family favourite and my kid loves it when I make it for him. Requiring just a few ingredients, it is a great cooler. Here is how to make it.
Cucumber Buttermilk is a refreshing beverage which is perfect to sip on warm summer days.
Summer in Bangalore was never this ruthless. I remember those breezy summer evenings so well! Alas, since last few years, summer happens to take quite a toll on us. In order to beat the heat, I always look forward to preparing natural coolers which we could sip throughout the day.
Cucumber Buttermilk is one such cooler which we all really love to relish, anytime and any day. I prefer making Cucumber Buttermilk over Spiced Buttermilk as it has the goodness of both cucumber and curd. If you are a fan of beetroot or chukandar then Beetroot Buttermilk has to be in your food diary!
For making Cucumber Buttermilk one just needs a few ingredients. Apart from adding cucumber to enhance the flavor of this cooler, I have even used ginger and green chilli. The tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves gives a very distinctive flavor to the buttermilk and it is loved by all at my home.
I like to drink chilled Cucumber Buttermilk, so apart from cooling it for a few hours in the refrigerator, I also add a few ice cubes in it. It is totally optional and you can drink it as per your preference. So, quickly learn to make Cucumber Buttermilk with my easy recipe and send me a tweet to share how it turned out!
