Butter Milk Chaas
BUTTER MILK Beat the heat with these easy-to-make and delicious desi summer coolers.
Chaas is basically curd that’s blended with some water and spices in an earthen pot to make a frothy liquid for a cooling effect. Known as buttermilk, chaas is a popular Indian coolant that doubles up as a thirst quencher as well as aids digestion. Buttermilk is a cold and refreshing beverage on a hot Indian summer's day.
It cools the body, nourishes the soul and drives away the heat.
Ingredients
Chilled Yogurt – 1 cup
Green chili – 1, chopped very finely
Ginger juice – 1 teaspoon
Cilantro – few springs, chopped very finely
Curry leaves- chopped very finely
Black salt – ¾ teaspoon
Chaat masala – ¾ teaspoon
Salt – to taste
Water - 2 cups
How to Prepare
Take yogurt in a bowl. Add chopped green chili, cilantro, curry leaves, ginger juice, black salt, chaat masala and salt.
Whisk it well. You can use wire whisk. I have used hand blender because I want chilies, cilantro and curry leaves almost ground. So I don’t bite them while drinking.
Now add water and whisk it again to mix.
Pour into the glass and serve.
If yogurt is not chilled then chill the chaas in refrigerator then serve.
