I am a full-time UX Architect in Healthcare IT with a great passion for cooking. I love experimenting with healthy and traditional food. Being an Agriculture graduate turned Medical Geneticist, I try to source organically grown ingredients from farmers and added the health benefits of each ingredient in most of the recipes that are posted here. This is more a personal database (hence DB in the name) of my family recipes and my trials on organic ingredients.
Neermor
Another simple and easy Neivedhyam to make this Ramanavami and offer it to Lord Rama. Neermor is just the thin flavoured buttermilk. Adding Tadka is optional. I am giving Non Tadka version here. This is another excellent summer cooler to relish on a daily basis without much efforts. Happy and Blessed Ramanavami 🙂
