What is Chaas?

It is an Indian version of Spiced Buttermilk that is traditionally prepared by churning curd(dahi) and water together. However, in this recipe, I’ll show how to make buttermilk using a blender. There are a lot of varieties of Chaas such as Plain Chaas, Masala Chaas, and Pudina Chaas.
