 Kambu Koozh Recipe


Kambu Koozh is a traditional Tamil Nadu beverage made with pearl millet. It is a nutritious and refreshing drink that is commonly consumed during the hot summer months. Here is a recipe to make Kambu Koozh:

 

Ingredients:

 

1.       1 cup pearl millet (kambu)

2.       2 cups water

3.       1 cup buttermilk

4.       Salt to taste

5.       Curry leaves

6.       Coriander leaves

7.       1 green chilli, chopped

8.       1 onion, chopped

 

Instructions:

 

1.       Rinse the pearl millet and soak it in water for at least 6 hours or overnight.

2.       Drain the water and grind the soaked millet with 1 cup of water to make a smooth paste.

3.       In a large bowl, mix the millet paste with 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 cup of water. Mix well to combine.

4.       Add salt to taste and mix well.

5.       Let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 6-8 hours or until it ferments. You will notice small bubbles forming on the surface, which indicates that the mixture has fermented.

6.       Once the mixture has fermented, give it a good stir and adjust the consistency with water if necessary.

7.       In a pan, heat a little oil and add curry leaves, coriander leaves, green chilli, and chopped onion. Saute for a few minutes until the onion turns translucent.

8.       Add the sauteed mixture to the Kambu Koozh and mix well.

9.       Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing and nutritious Kambu Koozh!

 

Note: You can adjust the amount of buttermilk and water to achieve the desired consistency. You can also add grated ginger or grated coconut for extra flavor.
