Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Masala Chaas

  • For a thinner consistency, add more water to the buttermilk base. For a thicker drink, use less water.
  • Adjust the amount of green chilies to control the spiciness level. Start with fewer chilies and add more to taste.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat plain yogurt.
  • Garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro or mint for extra freshness and visual appeal.
