Masala Chaas

I first tasted chaas in Rajdhani restaurant and simply loved it! It is an excellent summer chiller and also a good accompaniment during heavy meals as it helps in good digestion. It is a very simple recipe and tastes best when served chilled!

INGREDIENTS:

• Whisked curds - 2 cups
• Cumin seeds powder - 1 Tsp
• Ginger-green chilli paste - 1/2 Tsp
• Salt - To taste
• Black salt - 1/2 Tsp (optional)
• Oit - 1 Tsp
• Cumin seeds - 1/4 Tsp
• Asafoetida - 1/4 Tsp
• Chopped coriander leaves - for garnishing

METHOD:

1. Combine all ingredients except oil, cumin seeds and asafoetida and mix well. Black salt is optional. I did not add as I do not like the flavor much
2. If you feel the mixture is too thick, add half a cup of water
3. Temper the mixture with cumin seeds and asafoetida
4. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves
5. Serve chilled
