The summer season is at its peak, and we take a lot of summer coolants to cool the body. Buttermilk is one of the best summer coolants and we take it in different ways. We make chaas, neer mor and different varieties of lassi. Apart from having buttermilk in summer, we make buttermilk based gravy and have it during the meal. Sambaram is a kerala-style buttermilk, in which they add crushed ginger, chili and onion. The Tamilnadu style neer mor is different and we temper mustard seeds and asafoetida in that.
