TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST MASALA CHAAS RECIPE

Curd needs to be broken down to a smooth texture. Use whisk or hand blender to achieve this texture. I like to use Onken stirred yogurt as the texture is smooth for Chaas.
Use Chilled water for making Chaas.  Alternatively if water is not chilled, place the prepared buttermilk in the refrigerator for a while before serving.
Use Ice if the buttermilk is not chill enough.
For serving Chaas with a froth on the top , blend the ingredients with a  hand-blender or mixet  and pour it immediately into your serving mug.
Chop the Coriander leaves fine before adding to your buttermilk.

CHAAS VARIATIONS

  • For spicy chaas recipe, add 1 green chilli minced to the recipe.
  • Add hing { asafoetida } and ginger
  • You can also give a smoky effect to the masala lassi by using dungar method.
  • Sometimes I also enjoy adding a seasoning of mustard and cumin seeds too.
