Buttermilk, also known as chaas is one of the traditional summer drinks that originated in Gujarat. The drink is a flavourful explosion and is a mainstay across many states all around India. It could be described as a toned-down version of lassi but as delicious, if not more. It is a common summer beverage that you can prepare at your home from yoghurt using this simple recipe.
1 cup of curd (plain yoghurt) 1 cup of water A pinch of salt (optional)
Take a bowl and place the curd into it.
To the curd, add water. Depending on how thick or runny you want your buttermilk, you can modify the curd-to-water ratio. To start, mix the curd and water in equal amounts, then taste and adjust.
Taste and adjust with a dash of salt if required. Until everything is properly combined, give it a good stir.
For a smoother consistency, you may also combine the curd and water in a blender.
After mixing, your homemade buttermilk is ready for use in recipes or as a refreshing drink.
