SAMBARAM or LABAN DRINK or BUTTER MILK DRINK:

SAMBARAM or LABAN DRINK or BUTTER MILK DRINK: This is a very refreshing natural drink. This is one drink I am sure every Keralite would have had some time or the other. A drink that cools the body during the summer seasons and that existed even before the soft drinks came about. And a 100% healthy option. The aroma and taste it carries is truly amazing. It is salty and lightly spicy. It is seen as a must for any sadhya or the lavish South Indian thali. It is said to improve digestion.

INGREDIENTS:

Butter Milk or Moru – 1 Cup

Curry Leaves – 3 to 4 leaves

Green Chilli – ½ to 1 slit

Ginger – a very small piece

Salt
