Ingredients
- ½ cup curd
- 1½ cups water
- ½ tsp roasted jeera powder
- A few curry leaves
- 1 tbsp coriander, chopped
- A pinch of black salt
- 1 inch ginger, grated, optional
Method
Whisk the curd with water until completely smooth and thin. Thin, not thick — this matters.
Dry roast jeera seeds until fragrant and grind fresh. Pre-ground loses most of it.
Add the jeera powder, black salt, coriander and grated ginger.
Crush the curry leaves lightly and stir in.
Serve at room temperature, not chilled.
If dairy is one of your reflux triggers, this is not the one for you.

Take the 2-minute check2-minute check
What is going on with your digestion?
Four questions, answered in about a minute.
When does discomfort appear?
Any bloating through the day?
Has your bowel habit changed?
How often do you take an antacid or laxative?
This sounds occasional rather than established
Meal timing, fibre and fluid usually settle it.
A pattern is forming
Regular antacid or laxative use is worth reviewing — it manages the symptom rather than the cause.
This fits an established pattern
Worth proper assessment rather than continued self-medication, particularly if sleep is affected.
This check is an indication, not a diagnosis. It does not replace medical advice.
