Masala Boondi Buttermilk is a very popular healthy and nourishing drink for beating the summers.The mint escalates its cooling effect and gives this chaach a very stimulating taste. The cumin seeds, mint, and ginger used in Masala Boondi Chaach greatly enhance its taste. I grew up seeing my mother make at least two jugs of buttermilk daily during the scorching summers. We would enjoy this refreshing drink more than the meals.

Curd/Yoghurt 1 cup
Chilled water 1 to 1.5 cup
