Many recipes call for buttermilk. Do you know what this really is though? It's actually 1 cup curd, 2 cups water and a pinch of salt. This sounds disgusting to me even though it's suppose to be good for you. So, will you still use this? I probably will.

You can use an alternative of milk with some vinegar added when recipes call for buttermilk as well. I'm not sure the exact mixture but a quick search should be able to locate that for you easily.

I believe it's 1 cup milk and 1teaspoon vinegar--I usually just pour "some" vinegar in the milk.

Thanks for the tip. I don't like the smell of vinegar but it sure beats "curd" LOL

Have you tasted buttermilk, even i refused to drink buttermilk just by having a look at it, but when i was forced to drink, i really liked the taste, it tastes so good with salt and cilantro, the flavor of buttermilk is reminiscent of yogurt...so, try it...you will like it

I can't stand the taste of yogurt so I guess that means I won't like buttermilk. Does that seem true?

Butter milk consists of my daily deit as I live in hot wheather. well you could add a pinch of grounded cumin powder and some mint leaves... i am sure you will enjoy it and to put you at ease it is excellent for health, eyes and hair.
