Masala Chaas

Spicy buttermilk
It's very hot in Mumbai. Yesterday's high was 41.9 degrees Celsius...so we need to hydrate our body to keep it cool by drinking a lot of liquid . Kokum sarbat, lassi( sweetened buttermilk),  limboo-paani(lemon water), barley water ...many options are  there. Eating  juicy fruits like watermelon, citrus fruits or adding cucumber,tomatoes to your diet can provide adequate amount of liquid and keep the body hydrated. 

Here's the recipe for masala chaas

Ingredients
1 cup curd
2-3 cups water
1 tsp saindhav/black salt
1/2 tsp cumin seeds powder
1/4 tsp pepper powder
1/2 tsp ginger paste( or pieces)
4-5 fresh mint leaves( torn)/dried mint leaves powder
2-3 fresh curry leaves(torn)/ dried curry leaves powder


Method
Mix Curd with all the other ingredients. Beat with spoon. Add cold water. Shake well.
Drink immediately and beat the heat.

Note
I mix curd with all the ingredients in an airtight glass ( Tupperware/Lock-n-Lock) so that they( husband,daughter) can add water in it before drinking.
