Sambaram
in the olden days, before the buses and public transport were invented, people used legs for transportation. The houses by the side of the road, would serve refreshments for those weary travellers. Our house was by the side of the road and my grandmother would make a big clay pot of "sambaram" and place it on a stool along with a steel glass. Those who wanted a drink, scoop it using the glass and drink. FOC
on a very hot day I still make sambaram to drink.
Yogurt:2 cup
water:2cup
clean cheese cloth
green chilli:1
garlic:1 clove
shallots:1
cumin seed:1/2 t spn
turmeric powder:1/2 t spn
grind the above to a fine paste. place it in the cheese cloth and tie a bundle. . Mix the yogurt and water, add salt.Drop the cheesecloth bundle in to the yogurt water mix. keep aside for 30 mints. drink..
Increase the quantity if you are making it in bulk..BTW..this stay outside without getting spoiled for 1 whole week.
