Ingredients
Yogurt Mixture
- 500 gm Yogurt fresh, preferably made with skimmed/low-fat milk
- 1/2 liter Water cold
- 2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Pepper Powder or 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, white
Herb Chutney
- 1 cup Coriander Leaves finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Mint Leaves finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Curry Leaves finely chopped
- 1 inch Ginger or 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 Chili or 1 tsp green chili paste, green
Instructions
Make the Herb Chutney
- Combine the coriander, mint, curry leaves, ginger, and green chili in a blender. Add 1/4 cup of water. Blend until a smooth chutney forms. Set aside.
Prepare the Sambaram
- In a large jug or bowl, whisk together the yogurt and cold water until completely smooth. This creates a creamy base for the drink.
- Add the salt, sugar, pepper powder, and the prepared herb chutney to the yogurt mixture. Whisk thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and the flavors meld together.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another jug. This removes any fibrous bits from the chutney and creates a smooth, refined beverage.
Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the Sambaram for at least 2-3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deepen and the drink to become thoroughly chilled.
- Pour the chilled Sambaram into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a few curry leaves for an elegant touch. Serve and enjoy!

- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving for an extra pop of flavor and color.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
