Sannata Dahi: ‘Sannata‘ in Hindi means complete silence. ‘Sannata’ because according to legends, this particular concoction may help silence all tummy troubles and ease indigestion. Much like raita, Sannata dahi is made with a combination of yogurt, Boondi
and spices. What distinguishes it from raita is the consistency. Sannata dahi has a watery thin consistency and is teeming with select spices
Dahi or yogurt is exceptional probiotic that helps feed our gut with good bacteria and thus facilitating good digestion. Since it has a cool and calming effect on the inner stomach lining, it is often consumed with and after meals in many parts of India. The role of spices here is very interesting. Spices are often scrutinized for their role in digestion. A bit too much could prove risky, but if used in appropriate amounts they can do wonders. Spices like cumin, hing, coriander are prized in Ayurveda for its healing properties especially when it comes to digestive issues.
