Garlic and Cumin Flavored Buttermilk

Hi Friends,

I have a good news to share with you. But bit scared to share it as i am very unlucky about all these things. After six years we are going for a vacation to a hill station- MANALI, a famous hills station of India. Tomorrow we are leaving. but still i can't believe that we are going. By the time we board our VOLVO tomorrow then i will say that YES really first time with kids we are going for a holiday. In last year i have faced so many rough patches in my life and finally after six years i succeed to convince my hubby to go for a holiday with kids. 

I am really very excited about this trip as this is first time we are going for a holiday with our kids. I have packed our bags and still lots of things are pending. I made a list and don't know how many times i modified it. My hubby says i am gone mad. He is surprised to see my preparations for the trip. We are going only for 4 days and 3 nights and my hubby says i am planning like we are going for 2 weeks. Actually kids are small so didn't wanted to take them for a long vacation. So we planned a small trip. But i am happy with this also. Something Is Batter Then Nothing. RIGHT??? So with the hopes that finally we will move tomorrow without any obstacles. I am moving to today's recipe. 

If you love garlic then this recipe is for you or if you like buttermilk then its good for you. Today i am here with garlic flavored lussi/buttermilk. I saw this recipe on a blog and forgot it.
