Ingredient At A Glance

Buttermilk – I use the low-fat kind.

Green Indian chili or serrano chili -Chaas needs a bit of a kick. You can adjust the heat as per your tolerance or leave out the chilies.

Ginger – The spicy and peppery flavor of ginger totally adds to the overall taste of the drink. 

Curry Leaves – The flavor and aroma of curry leaves are the secret ingredient in this drink.

Salt – You can use black salt or regular table salt. Adjust the quantity as per your taste. 

How To Prepare Chaas?

• Take out your blender. To the jar, add all the ingredients, ginger, chili, curry leaves, salt, and buttermilk. 
• Add about half a cup of water to thin out the drink. We don’t usually add ice because it dilutes the drink, and the buttermilk is already chilled from being in the refrigerator.
• Blend everything to form a smooth drink. 
• Pour it into a glass using a sieve; since you’re blending curry leaves, ginger, and chili, this will get rid of the small amount of pulp.
• Enjoy the chaas and thank me later.
