Buttermilk (Takra)
 
::

 Buttermilk, known as takra in Sanskrit, holds a very special place in the ancient system of healthy living from India, known as Ayurveda.

The following was written in one of the ancient Ayurvedic texts:“He who uses takra daily does not suffer from diseases, and diseases cured by takra do not recur.” AND “Just as amrita (divine nectar) is for the gods, takra is to humans.”

What is Takra?
Takra is a drink made from yogurt, water, and digestive herbs and spices.

It is made with 1 part yogurt and 4 parts water. It is then blended (usually in a blender, but you can also shake it in a jar).

The blending process separates the fat from the yogurt. The fat will appear as frothy bubbles floating on the top of the takra.

You can use a spoon to remove the fat, or strain the takra through a sieve.

You can choose to remove all of the fat, most of it, half of it, or none of it.
