Often called the Indian Probiotic, Masala Chaas is a staple for beating the heat. This minty version acts as a natural air conditioner for your body, using cooling herbs and spices to aid digestion and prevent dehydration. It’s light, frothy, and far more effective than any sugary soda for a mid-day energy reset and metabolic boost.
1 cup fresh plain yogurt (curd) 2 cups chilled water 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves 1 tsp roasted cumin powder 1/2 inch ginger, grated Black salt to taste
Blend the mint leaves, grated ginger, and a splash of water into a smooth green paste.
Add the yogurt, remaining water, cumin powder, and black salt to the blender.
Pulse for 30 seconds until the drink is well-combined and a thick, airy froth forms on top.
Pour into tall glasses, garnish with a sprig of mint or a pinch of cumin, and serve chilled.
