SAMBARAM, TAAQ, NEER MORU, MASALA CHAAS

It is too hot and everyone is waiting for the rain.  nobody wants to eat the food. tender coconut, neer moru  or taaq (sambaram), juices, aam ka panha etc. etc. are filling the stomach.  

simple and easily prepared moru (sambaram), neer moru is good for health as well as quenches thirst.  my maid always used to say "Vahini" taaq banavun dya" means she wants to have neer moru  (butter milk) and she relishes it.

This neer moru is also prepared during Ram Navami and served to the devotees and passerby.

During this festival, kosumalli a preparation of moongdal, carrots, cucumber and Panakam is also served as prasadam.





In villages, in a big earthen pot, this is prepared and kept under the pipal tree. people who pass by used to relish the same during summer.
