Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup curd (dahi or yogurt) - fresh or sour
- 1 cup water or add as required
- 1 teaspoon ginger - roughly chopped
- ½ to 1 teaspoon green chilli - roughly chopped
- 6 to 7 curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves - finely chopped
- salt as required
For Tempering Majjiga
- 1 teaspoon oil - any neutral flavored oil
- ¼ teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 small pinch of asafoetida (hing)
Instructions
Blending Curd
- In a blender jar - take the curd (yogurt), chopped ginger, green chilies, curry leaves and salt as required.
- Add 1 cup water. Blend very well. Some butter floating on top is fine and tastes good.
- Pour the spiced buttermilk in a bowl or pan. Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves. Mix and keep aside.
Tempering Majjiga
- Heat oil in a small pan or a tadka pan.
- When the oil becomes hot, lower the heat. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle.
- Once they crackle, then add a pinch of asafoetida (hing). Mix and then quickly turn off the heat.
- Pour the tempering mixture in the Neer Mor. Mix well.
- You can serve Majjiga immediately or chill it in the fridge and serve later. Optionally if you like, a few ice cubes can also be added if serving immediately.
- Serve any leftovers in the fridge for 1 day only.
Notes
- You can make this drink with the buttermilk that is obtained when cultured cream is churned to make butter.
- You can add less or more of the herbs and spices as per your choice.
- The consistency can be made more thin by adding more water.
- Instead of blending everything, you can opt to just blend the yogurt and then later add the finely chopped ginger, green chilies and curry leaves.
- For blending, you can also use a hand churner or a wired whisk.
- For a gluten free version of this drink, skip asafoetida.
- The recipe can be doubled or tripled.
