Buttermilk is a probiotic food. Buttermilk is also a great source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium and B12 . Buttermilk improves digestion. It is useful in the treatment of digestive disorders, gastro-intestinal disorders, lack of appetite, anaemia, spleen disorders and inflammation.

Preparation:
- Beat the curd/yogurt. I used home made curd. Add an equal quantity of cool water and salt to taste. Beat well. You can add more water if you like it thinner. I add more water.
- Crush the ginger, shallot, green chilly and curry leaves. Add this to the buttermilk. Stir well. If you have fresh lime/lemon leaves tear it and add it to the butter milk for added flavor.
