Morum vellam/sambharam

 A hot afternoon outside calls for a quick call to quench thirst. Ya, water serves the purpose.
But like people in tropics and deserts only know too well, water alone cannot suffice for the heavy dehydration. As a habit, we are tempted to grab a bottle of coke or other soft drinks that line the fridge racks in the supermarkets, only to be left feeling more thirsty :-(

That's when the goodness of the good old buttermilk serves as much more than a thirst quencher.
Such a refreshing drink to hydrate oneself! ... and it's so easy to make!! :D :D

 What I used

1. Well-beaten curd/buttermilk: 1 cup
2. Water: 1 cup
3. Diced shallots: 3
4. Finely chopped ginger: 1/4 teaspoon
5. Chopped green chilli: 1
6. Salt: as needed

How I made it

In a glass, mix all the above ingredients and stir well

Then take a big gulp on a hot afternoon or whenever you are sooooo thirsty! That's it!! :D :D

PS: In case you do not want it spicy, just mix curd, water and salt. It's cooling enough
