Ingredients
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 4 cups chilled water
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon black salt

- Now, add cumin powder, black salt, roasted cumin seeds, black pepper powder, ginger powder, chaat masala, asafoetida, and salt to the yogurt-water mixture. These spices will give the Chaas its unique flavor.
- If desired, tear a few fresh mint leaves and add them to the mixture. The mint leaves will add a refreshing touch to the Chaas.
- Whisk the mixture vigorously for a couple of minutes to ensure that all the spices are well incorporated and the flavors are well blended.
- Once the mixture is well whisked, taste it and adjust the spices and salt according to your preference. Add more cumin powder or black salt if you want a stronger flavor.
- Now, strain the Chaas to remove any remaining lumps or solid particles. This step is optional, but it will give you a smoother texture.
- Once strained, pour the Chaas into a jug or serving glasses. If you prefer a chilled Chaas, you can add a few ice cubes at this stage.
- Garnish the Chaas with fresh coriander leaves. The coriander leaves will add a burst of freshness and enhance the visual appeal of the Chaas.
- Stir the Chaas well before serving to ensure that all the spices are evenly distributed.
- Masala Chaas is now ready to be enjoyed. Serve it chilled as a refreshing summer drink or as a accompaniment to a meal.

- If you don’t have black salt, you can substitute it with regular salt, but the flavor will be slightly different.
- For variations, you can add a pinch of roasted fenugreek powder (methi powder) or finely chopped green chilies for extra flavor.
- You can also experiment with different herbs like coriander, curry leaves, or even basil to add a unique twist to the Chaas.
