Notes
- Use fresh curd – Slightly sour curd works best for flavor, but avoid using curd that’s too old or bitter. I have used homemade curd.
- Grind spices coarsely – Don’t make a fine paste; a coarse grind gives a nice texture and releases flavor evenly.
- Adjust spice levels – Use more green chili for extra heat, or reduce it for a milder version. we like it a bit milder.
- Fry mor milagai properly – Fry until crisp but not burnt. Crushed and added to the drink, they give a lovely kick.
- Always use chilled water – This keeps the drink refreshing and also helps balance the warmth from the spices.
- Add mint for variation – A few mint leaves while grinding add a cool, fresh twist.
- Don’t skip tempering – Mustard seeds add essential flavor. Even a simple tadka makes a big difference.
- Serve immediately or chill – Best enjoyed fresh, but can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated.
