Learn how to make authentic Bangladeshi Borhani at home. This refreshing, tangy, and spiced yogurt drink is a must-have for Eid feasts, weddings, and special occasions.

Introduction

Borhani is a traditional Bangladeshi yogurt-based drink, famous for its refreshing taste and digestive benefits. It’s usually served at weddings, Eid dinners, and special occasions alongside rich dishes like Kachchi Biryani, Morog Polao, and Beef Rezala. With its blend of yogurt, herbs, and spices, Borhani not only cools the palate but also aids digestion after a heavy meal. In this recipe, I’ll show you how to make authentic Dhaka-style Borhani in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

  • 2 cups plain yogurt (fresh and chilled)
  • 4 cups cold water (or as needed for desired consistency)
  • 1½ tbsp mint leaves (fresh, chopped)
  • 1½ tbsp coriander leaves (fresh, chopped)
  • 2–3 green chilies (adjust to taste)
  • 1½ tsp roasted cumin powder
  • ½ tsp black salt (or regular salt)
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds (optional)
  • ½ tsp black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1 – Make the Spice & Herb Paste

  • In a blender, add mint leaves, coriander leaves, green chilies, and a splash of water.
  • Blend until smooth.

Step 2 – Prepare the Yogurt Base

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk yogurt until smooth.
  • Gradually add cold water while whisking to get a thin, drinkable consistency.

Step 3 – Combine Flavors

  • Add the herb paste, roasted cumin powder, black salt, mustard seeds, black pepper powder, and sugar (if using).
  • Mix well to ensure all flavors are evenly incorporated.

Step 4 – Adjust & Chill

  • Taste and adjust salt, spice, and tanginess.
  • Add lemon juice for a refreshing kick.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Step 5 – Serve

  • Pour into tall glasses or a jug.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of roasted cumin powder and fresh mint leaves.

Expert Tips for Perfect Borhani

  • Use fresh yogurt to avoid an overly sour taste.
