Traditional Buttermilk Emerges as Summer Essential in Hyderabad

With summer temperatures soaring in Hyderabad, many people are relying on a traditional drink to stay cool and maintain digestive health. Buttermilk, commonly known as majjiga or chaas, has long been a preferred choice during the hotter months.

Made by diluting curd with water and lightly seasoning it with ingredients like cumin, ginger, curry leaves, and a pinch of salt, this drink is both refreshing and nourishing. It helps keep the body hydrated, supports digestion, and replenishes essential salts lost through sweating.

Unlike sugary or carbonated beverages, buttermilk is light and easy on the stomach, making it suitable for regular consumption. Its natural cooling properties also help the body cope better with high temperatures.

In a climate where heat can be intense and prolonged, this simple, traditional drink continues to be a practical and healthy way to stay refreshed while supporting overall well-being.
