Hello Ananya. Ayran is a traditional, refreshing yogurt-based beverage originating from Turkey and Central Asia. It is made by blending yogurt with cold water and a pinch of salt, often whisked until it becomes frothy.
To prepare it at home, you will need plain yogurt, cold water, and salt to taste. Simply combine equal parts yogurt and water, add salt, and whisk vigorously or blend until smooth.
As for a quick dinner, it is wonderful and light, especially paired with savory or grilled dishes, though you might want a heavier side if you are very hungry.
