HOW TO MAKE MASALA CHAAS?

Masala Chaas- a light and refreshing yogurt based drink with herbs.

This post was originally published in 2014. This has now been updated with fresh recipe cards.

Masala Chaas/ Masala Mor

Chaas means buttermilk in Hindi. Mor means buttermilk in Tamil.

While buttermilk in the west refers to the water that s collected after churning butter from cream, this chaas means diluted yogurt that has been flavored with herbs.

Masala Chaas is the ideal drink recommended even by Ayurveda enthusiasts. This light and refreshing yogurt based drink has fantastic digestive properties and is very easy to make.

Herbs and Spices

The most suitable herbs for Masala mor is fresh grated ginger, mint and coriander.

As for spices, you can add a generous pinch of cumin powder along with some asafetida for good digestive effects.

However, you may experiment with the flavors according to whatever you have in your fridge.

Yogurt in Chaas

You can use sour yogurt to make masala chaas. In fact it is the best way to use up sour yogurt. I prefer using home set yogurt but store bought ones will work too.

How To Make Yogurt At Home

Greek yogurt does not work so well for masala chaas as low fat yogurt does.

Make ahead Masala Buttermilk

You can make this recipe well ahead of a day and let it cool in the fridge. This herb flavored and mildly spiced buttermilk is a fantastic drink that serves a crowd very easily.

I prefer natural ways to beat the heat. In that sense, it will be an understatement if i say i m crazy about fresh juices, shakes and smoothies. Plus i m a huge yogurt fan.

While i m whipping up fruity mocktails and shakes a lot during summer, this spiced buttermilk is a regular at home. We prefer some creamy and mildly spiced buttermilk to beat the afternoon heat when mercury torments us the most.

It s a fabulous way to keep the body cool with some earthy goodness of cumin and some refreshing mint. And its a preservative free economical way to enjoy buttermilk.
