The traditional pink butter (tindi) of Haryana,

a big mug-full of pink lassi/buttermilk..
Electric churner ...churning lots of curd/yoghart

Usually I use my electrical churner. But I tried it in real traditional way...



Pink lassi

In case you want to try it out...then 

precede as fallows...

Start with the milk to simmer on low

 fire for at least two hours, or till the

 milk start to change its colour in light

 pink. Then keep it aside to cool.. Make

 curd/yoghurt from boiled milk, which 

has been cooled to hand warm


 temperature, then set to make 

curd. Add 1 Tbsp. Culture to a liter of

 warm milk, stir and leave to stand in a 

warm or until curd/yoghurt is set ( if 

you set your curd in clay/Terra-cota 

pot 

regularly then ..need not to add any culture). After 5 hours start with the curd at room temperature and beat it on the highest speed with your hand or with stand mixer/churner. It will go through the whipped stage and start to clump after that, getting pinkish all the while. You will begin to think it looks like butter before it is butter.

…Don’t give it up!

…keep beating, periodically scrapping

 down the sides of the bowl with a

 wooden spatula. Then, fairly suddenly,

 the buttermilk will “fall” out.



The pinkish butter...........i love it. It taste divine toooo make it and enjoy with chapattis/bread/khichri/biryani/pulav

Bone apatite!
