Summer is here! What better drink you can think of to beat that thirst in summer than our home made Neeru Majigge. A very common chilled drink served in every household in Karnataka especially in summer. 

I used to hate the green chilies, ginger and curry leaves in buttermilk as a kid. I always would wonder why mom gives me all these in a simple drink. But these are very essential to keep our body cool in summer.
