Vellai Poosanikkai Juice | White Pumpkin Buttermilk | Healthy Drinks

A simple buttermilk drink with white pumpkin/poosanikkai which has many health benefits. Amma makes this whenever we have mouth ulcers. I drink this now to keep my body flushed out of toxins, natural body coolant, and for weight loss as it is believed to take away water retention from the body. Amma advises to take it in empty stomach for best results. It is best to have in summers as you might easily catch cold with this coolant drink.
