Buttermilk/Mattha/Chaas
Buttermilk can be spiced and had as a summer beverage. It is also called Mattha made from yoghurt or curd it is mixed with spices and sugar. Mattha also called Chaas /chhanch/ ghol.
Chaas
Buttermilk is made by churning curds or yoghurt after the butter is separated the liquid remaining is used as buttermilk this is now called traditional buttermilk. This Buttermilk can be drunk or used in cooking.
Drink your mattha before or after a meal and with a meal as it helps with digestion.
The main ingredients you may use as per your taste are mint, ginger, roasted cumin seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves, black pepper, salt, rock salt, and sugar.
Actually, we all like the what we call as Majjige in Kannada but since hubby dear had picked up buttermilk masala I have been using it.

I love the froth you have on the glass, very nicely done!
Thanks.
Classic. There is no better way to depict a recipe than the basics. I love the way you have churned the buttermilk and the frothy layer on top yummmm
Thanks, Seema.
Interesting, I usually add a variety of herbs and spices to chaas but have never added hing. Its a must try recipe. We have chaas every single day.
Hing or asafoetida is an antiflatulent and settles the stomach. So I use it in almost anything.
I remember having this at a restaurant I went to with Pradnya and Kalyani when I was in Mumbai and it was definitely cooling against the Mumbai heat. Great to know how to make it now
Aww! so sweet of you Mir. I was to join you guys and would have if the circumstances were different.
An awesome drink for summer. I love how you captured the froth at the top of the glass.
Thank you Varada. Your praise means a lot to me.
Love chaas. I can drink loads and loads of it. 🙂 Thats a perfect one and beautiful froth on top.
Thanks, Nisha.
