Sambharam or Morum Vellam is a spiced buttermilk drink from Kerala. It is healthy summer drink which leaves you feeling totally refreshed. This drink is also part of the Kerala Sadya. I usually make it in a blender and then sieve it. But, you can also just crush together all the spices and add it to the curd for making this buttermilk.
