Koozh mostly the Raagi Koozh (Kezhvaragu koozh) is famous in Tamil Nadu that too in Aadi Month. It is distributed in Mariamman Temples as Prasadham. It is so healthy and makes the body cool. In my childhood days, i used to drink this and i love the taste. After a very long time, i want to prepare this and after i prepared, i just went back to my childhood days again.

Ingredients
To make Koozh

[I like the koozh taste without adding curd, so i didnt add it].
healthy cool with awesome presentation.
Thanks for posting a healthy, authentic & forgotten recipe of tamil's.
delicious koozh with authentic presentation!!!
i love koozh…. but my mom makes it only once a year during aadi pooja.. but if i ask it after that she'll say "i will make it….." but she never makes it.
i thought to drink it form roadside shop but they make other non-veg stuff with it which i dont like since am pure-vegetarian.
I searched to how to make for nearly 45min… when i was about to quit this blog showed up, THANKS A MILLION….. i never cooked but i want to try this and i'll get to drink it when ever i want…
