most frequently i consume butter milk or chaas with just pinch of salt and hing after my meal. however my husband prepares this spicy, minty flavoured and seasoned buttermilk recipe once in while and i totally love it. he tries to mix and match with few ingredients but in this i have used a comprehensive list of ingredients for masala chaas or also pronounced as ‘chaach’ in hindi. moreover, he even tried to churn the homemade curd with a hand blender to prepare the authentic way of buttermilk, but he was unsuccessful. since then he gave up that idea and sticked to simply blending the curd.

furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a perfect and flavoured spicy buttermilk recipe. firstly, in this recipe i have added lemon juice to introduce the sour taste and balance the spice level. ignore this completely, if your curd or dahi is sour in taste already. secondly, i have added seasoning of jeera seeds to introduce the smoky flavour to this beverage. however this is optional and can be completely ignored if you do not prefer so. lastly, i would heavily recommend to use the earthen pot to store the buttermilk as it helps to remain cool.
