Mint Spiced Salted Buttermilk is also popularly known as Chaas or lassi.
So whatever the name be its still one of the most consumed drink in summers.
Buttermilk has amazing health benefits. Like cooling effect on digestive track and helps with digestion or treat stomach ailments. Rich in essential micro nutrients and vitamins. It’s an excellent source of calcium without the fat.
So what exactly is buttermilk. According to Wikipedia- buttermilk was originally the liquid left behind after churning butter out of the cream. It also refers to fermented milk in some warm climate countries.
But in here we are talking about buttermilk or chaas that is prepared with yogurt or curd. And depending on the taste we add ingredients.
It’s getting warmer here in India so as a ritual I make buttermilk after meals. It’s a yummy way to digest your meal.
Another Indian Spiced Milk that you must try is the turmeric spiced milk.
Directions to make Mint Spiced Salted Buttermilk-
Makes one 200 ml glass
Ingredients:
2-3 tbsp thick curd or Greek yogurt(per glass)
