After a very long time I am posting a recipe in my blog.
I was busy holidaying in Paris and then Scotland and Amsterdam. Most of you
have already seen Paris through my lens and thanks a lot for your comments.
Now back in London, back to routine. Back is the sun, the
green trees, the chirping birds, the sprung flowers. Long days filled with
sunshine is such a pure bliss after depressing and dark winters- this winters there
was no trace of snow as well :-(. Anyways now I won’t bore you talking about the gloomy weather. It’s the summer time. Happy Summers everyone :-)
2 days back I was on phone with my friend in India
(Mumbai) and she was mourning over heat and summers. She said ‘uff, I hate
summers, I hate going out, it is so hot outside, I can’t even do makeup, it is
sweat everywhere-etc etc’ Well it is not new for anyone who has experienced
Indian summers- correct? Summers in India are not the sunny, warm and bright
like London. Summers in India mean scorching heat, sand storms and sweaty days.
London is never that hot but even with a little sunshine
I crave for something cold and yet healthy. Vodka Mojito, Mint Cucumber Cooler, Bloody Mary are okay once a while. But at times drinks without sugar is what I wish for. A huge thanks to that unknown someone who invented Masala Chaas or Spiced Buttermilk which is
healthy and is the perfect thirst quencher.
It is the blend of spices with thick yogurt and thus the
health benefits are immense. Made with water and curd, this drink is perfect to
soothe the stomach. As you drink it the cool butter milk tends to wash down the
spices and calms an irritated stomach lining. Packed
with electrolytes and lots of water, chaas is the best thing
you can give your body to fight dehydration. This summer invest in glass of
Masala Chaas and relieve yourself from sun.
Ingredients:
1 cup yogurt/dahi
4 cups cold water
1 teaspoon ginger juice/adrak
1 green chilli deseeded
1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder/bhuna jeera
Black salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon Homemade chaat massala
1 teaspoon dried mint leaves/sukha pudhina
Method:
Mix everything together with 4 cups of cold water. Mix
well till it is frothy.
Notes:
If you don’t have dried mint leaves, use fresh. Just used
4-5 crushed mint leaves.
Green chilli is optional but it brings great taste.
