masala mango chaas (buttermilk)

I am back again with a new experiment. Though this was something that even I was scared before trying, but fortunately it turned out well and may be that’s why I am sharing it here. I just had to find a solution to the same old chaas (buttermilk) that my mom prepares usually. We prefer using home made butter and ghee and as you know the left over liquid or chaas is a by-product that we have to drink (or more appropriately forced to drink :P). I have used this by-product but you can alternatively replace it with curd and water (that will be more of a lassi, I suppose), whatever is easier for you. It is considered one of the best natural appetizer and very good for health.  also a perfect beverage in hot summer. But I was bored with the traditional masala or pudina flavouring, so thought of trying mangoes this time. The combo of traditional masala tanginess with the sweetness of mango blends well. Just remember one thing if you are making it during fast (vart) replace the common salt with sendha namak and don’t add chat masala.
