What is sannata?
Dr Santosh Pandey, naturopath and acupuncturist, Rejua Energy Centre, Mumbai said that the Sannata drink is a combination of yogurt mixed in water with asfoetida, cumin seeds, coriander, mint, and carom seeds, which resembles a thinner version of traditionally made raita.
“Rock salt and black salt are also sprinkled. It should have a watery, thin consistency. This specific mixture may help calm stomach discomfort and alleviate indigestion. Since it has a cool and calming effect on the inner stomach lining, it is often consumed with and after meals in many regions,” he said.
