Tambli/Thambuli is curd based side dish, healthy, light and is part of everyday meal in my home. Summers cannot be imagined without a thambli as it helps you cool your body. There are many variants of thambli and it can be consumed as-is, meaning it is just a flavoured and spiced version of buttermilk, to put it in simple words.

I don’t know if this variant of thambli exists or not, at least for me it is the first time. The recipe was shared to me by Nithin, the blog admin I spoke about in my earlier post. He is a good critic of my work. The recipe was tried and tested by both of us and we felt its worth sharing.

So take some time out to prepare this ‘feel good’ recipe and leave me a comment.
