Doogh (Ayran) is an Iranian traditional drink that is served with different types of food. Many traditional dishes must be served with Doogh like Kalaneh which is a Kurdish snack or Doogh and Gosh-e-fil which is a traditional snack from Esfahan. In the past, this salty drink was made with high-fat yogurt that was diluted with water, then the fat was separated using a special “Mushk”. It was considered one product of butter.
Nowadays, this product is produced in factories. Still, in many cities and villages of Iran, people make the traditional version of that because traditionally Doogh is very tastier than the other one in supermarkets. Iranian serve Doogh with dried mint powder and dried rose. These additives make the Doogh taste better and in Iranian traditional medicine eating some ingredients together is better for our health. I recommend you to taste this cold drink, especially with mint and rose.
Doogh is healthy?
I have to tell you that this delicious drink is one of the healthiest drinks. From anti-cancer properties to providing a comfortable sleep for you! Other benefits of Doogh include reducing the possibility of osteoporosis, lowering blood pressure, and strengthening the body’s immune system and fitness.
Finally, I want to introduce you to a new interesting combination of tastes. People in Esfahan a big city of Iran, drink Doogh with a traditional kind of Iranian sweet. Gosh-e-fil is an Iranian sweet that is usually cooked in Ramzan. This sweet and salty snack is really tasty in addition, Doogh and Ghosh-e-fil are very popular in Esfahan.
