Masala Chaas

#Rainbowweek3 - This perfect yoghurt drink is very refreshing and is a must during hot summer days. It is very light on the tummy and helps in keeping you hydrated. Just adding some flavourful spices, coriander leaves and a tempering of mustard seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves takes this humble buttermilk to the next level.
