RICE BUTTERMILK DRINK (a healthy drink)

Rice butter milk drink is again reminds me of my childhood after posting   kanjivellam soup.  It is a quite healthy drink. My parents and grand parents used to drink this one or two glasses in the morning that is their breakfast.  It is quite healthy and filling too.  (IT IS KNOWN AS KARACHU KUDIKKAL), kARACHU means mashing it up KUDIKKAL means drinking)

This drink is made out of left over rice.  Water is put in the left over rice in the night and the drink is made in the morning.  It has got very cooling effect to the body.  If you make it with red puzhungalarisi (red boiled rice), it is much more tastier.

Now let us look at the recipe now:

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

2 tbsp left over rice

2 tbsp curd.

a pinch of asafoetida

a pinch of salt (as per your taste)

one or two drops of til ka tel (nallennai, sesame oil) (OPTIONAL)

1 glass of water.

Method:

Add water in the rice and keep it  covered overnight. Next day morning, mash the rice with your hand thoroughly.  beat the curd well and add to the rice with water.  add the asafoetida, salt, oil and serve.

This is a healthy drink, quite filling and good for the stomach.

Hope you will enjoy this.
