Your Secret Recipe To The Perfect Silky Smooth Butter Chicken

 Have you ever planned a get together where you wondered what's that one recipe that will win hearts and found yourself perplexed because all you could think about is biryani which is again the same usual main course recipe that every other person makes. Unlike others, I'm not a die-hard fan of briyawni or whatever whitewashed tone you use to call it. Matter of fact I don't even understand the hype. anyways biryani isn't a big deal either if you are a Hyderabadi like me. So this is where the butter chicken comes into picture.  Butter chicken is one of the latest introductions to the Indian cuisine, must be some decades old and not more.

DIY Tropical Green Smoothie | Recipe + The Right Way To Drink A Smoothie |

Let's throw some green leaves in a blender and combat the summer heat with the most refreshing and revitalizing smoothie. This has been my forever favorite smoothie as it's simple, nutritious and reviving.   

Ingredients:
Fresh mint leaves, fistful
Fresh coriander leaves, fistful
Cucumber, small- peeled and sliced
Thick Plain Yogurt, 2 cups
Salt 1/2 tsp
Water, as required

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and add water but make sure it doesn't become too runny, it should have a "milkshake-like" consistency. Chill it and drink.

"Drink" a Smoothie?
This might come as a shock to you but smoothie isn't a drink, rather it's a meal. Yes! You don't drink a smoothie, you eat a smoothie. Sip and swallow is not the strategy, you need to chew it. 
People very widely, complain about stomachaches this happens since the stomach is ready to take a liquid but the contents of smoothie aren't too liquid-y. The stomach was not ready to take this. So, it is very necessary to chew your smoothie but remember to not swish it in your mouth. Let it warm up and slide down your throat. It is better to add some lumps in your smoothie like cucumber pieces or mint leaves so that you get to chew something and not make people wonder why you'd be chewing your smoothie.
