Curd

As delicious as curd is, it also has a cooling effect on the body. Especially in Nepal with so many variations of local curd to go around, you can have your pick of the lot and enjoy a chilled serving. If you want to mix it up, you can make various drinks out of it too.

If you don’t enjoy the regular form of curd, variations of it are abundant such as the spicy buttermilk, sweet lassi or even toss in a few seasonal fruits to turn it into a delicious smoothie. Rich with Vitamin B and gut-friendly bacteria, curd soothes the body from within. In addition to keeping your body temperature cooler, curd also helps in keeping your digestive system running smoothly.
