Mattha and Kairee Panha
Here comes two summer drinks, which are popular in almost every indian household, north or south; its just they have different names in different regions. One is Kairee Panha, Raw mango Juice. The Mango ,the “King of Fruit”,is something we really miss sometimes in singapore. Though we get mangoes here throughout the year,but the taste quality,variety and its availablity in summer months is really what we miss.About panna ,during the summer months this is a great refreshing drink. Mostly taken with afternoon meals or can have as such throughout the day. And the other is Mattha, Spiced up buttermilk, it's an Indian drink made from curd or yogurt. Buttermilk is said to have a cooling effect on the body. It also helps in digestion of food and hence, normally consumed at the end of the meal.
