About Neer Mor
‘Neer’ in tamil translates to water and ‘Mor’ is buttermilk so Neer Mor literally translates to buttermilk. Neer Mor is spiced buttermilk made using fresh thick curd along with green chilies, cumin seeds, ginger, curry leaves and coriander leaves.
I love buttermilk either the traditional creamier version which is the liquid left after churning the butter from cream collected from milk or this Neer Mor. Neer Mor is known as Neer mor in tamil , Sambharam in Malayalam and Chaas in Hindi. Though the basic ingredients are the same each version has a slight variation with a unique taste.
Neer Mor is a very common drink in South India especially during summer. This is the best way to beat the summer especially a good healthy alternate to the aerated / soft drinks.
Panakam, Vada Pappu, Kosambari and Neer Mor are made and served as neiveidyam for Sri Rama Navami. It is made in temples then distributed among the devotees.
