*Notes:
To make Buttermilk, mix some water to yogurt or curd. For this recipe I used 2cup Yogurt and added 1/2cup of Water.
If you like thin Buttermilk, add water according to that.
In this recipe you can add Shallots, it’s according to personal taste.
Always make sure to taste and adjust Salt. If needed add more Hing/Asafoetida.
The best combination to have Moru Kachiyathu / Seasoned Buttermilk is to have with Rice, Beef Fry or Fish Fry.
