Masala Chaas (Spicy Buttermilk)

Its the beginning of summer here and everyone wants to have cool body. Usually this spicy butter milk will be a part of our sunday lunch. Not only it is a coolant for body, it is a perfect refreshing mint flavoured drink. I always prefer to add Ginger in all my cooking recipes as it is very good for digestion. As well Curd is very good in curing Urinary tract infections. In this recipe I have added mint (Pudina) leaves and spice powders to add more taste. When we were in India, we always prepare Yogurt at home, whereas here the situation is totally different.  So i adapted to start buying Nestle curd. WIth curd, there are many refreshing recipes to prepare. One of those is Spicy Masala Chaas. Try this recipe at home and your comments are always welcome.
