Neer more – spiced buttermilk, south Indian style, perfect as summer drink to beat the heat and keep yourself hydrated in natural way!

Neer more/ neer mor (spiced buttermilk) is a perfect body cooling drink for summer. Neer mor and panagam both are offered on Tamizh new year and on Rama navami too. Since both the festivals falls over the summer month (Chithirai), we make this and offer to God and distribute to others too. No fancy items needed or no complicated too, still I am posting the recipe for buttermilk (spiced) because, tomorrow is Rama Navami. In MIL side, we dont celebrate Rama navami, but mom always does. So here is the way I do neer more (south Indian way of making spiced buttermilk). I am not sure if we temper it if we are offering to God, still I made this way. Below is the video:

Notes

    • If the buttermilk is not that sour and you need to make a lot, then you can squeeze lemon. Or even if you like the flavour, you can.
    • Add a pinch of asafoetida raw and rest while tempering, both together gives a great flavour.
    • Instead of chopping finely, you can also try grinding the chilly, ginger and few curry leaves to add it in the buttermilk.
    • At the time of serving, I strain and drink, still the flavour will be there.
    • You can use hand blender with whisk too.
    • Make sure you beat/ whisk the buttermilk well coz, the frothy top adds a lot of flavor 🙂

Serve chilled and keep yourself cool this summer by drinking lots of buttermilk. Spiced buttermilk! Check out the panakam recipe too!
