Mattha (Spiced Buttermilk )

Come  Summer and you can really feel the heat of the season. Here in Mumbai we have already started having juices, cold salads, coconut water  and watery juicy fruits to beat the heat. There are lots of aerated drinks and desserts but what works best for our system is the natural coolers.

One such natural cooler being the buttermilk . It is a probiotic and helps to reduce the acidity levels. It is also lower in fat than normal milk and a good source of calcium and potassium.
