ABOUT Gondhoraj Ghol (King Lime Buttermilk - Bengali Style) RECIPE

Ghol is a light and frothy Bengali style Buttermilk that is known for its cooling properties is enjoyed especially during the hot summer months of Bengal. It can be sweet or salty, and to zing up the flavors, you may even add spices. My version is made using the famous 'Gondhoraj Lebu', or the King Lime that is native to West Bengal.
