  2. If dried ginger powder is not available then you can directly add finely grated ginger in the buttermilk or squeeze few drops of the juice of grated ginger in butter milk.
  3. Adjust the quantity of table salt according to your taste.
  4. Can also add some asafoetida /hing ( at step 1)in it if you like its flavour.
