Chaas

Ingredients

  • 0.5 tsp Green Chilli
  • 2.0 tbsp Coriander Leaves
  • 2.0 cup Curd
  • 1.0 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black Salt
  • 1.0 tsp Cumin Powder

Cooking Steps

  1. Place the plain curd in a large bowl or blender. Whisk or blend it thoroughly until it is completely smooth and free of any lumps.
  2. Add the roasted cumin powder, black salt, regular salt, green chili, mint, and coriander to the smooth curd. Mix briefly to incorporate the flavors.
  3. Pour in the cold water. Using a traditional wooden churner (madhani), a wire whisk, or a blender, churn the mixture vigorously for 1-2 minutes until it becomes light and a layer of froth forms on top.
  4. Pour into tall glasses. Garnish with an extra pinch of roasted cumin powder and a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.
