Notes
Pudina chaas tastes best when cold.
Make the mint buttermilk drink entirely in the blender jar by adding all the ingredients to it. This is a convenient option and gives a nice, frothy mint chaas.
For a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt.
Adjust the consistency by adding more or less water according to your preference.
Customize the spice levels to suit your taste buds.
While black salt is optional, you can add chaat masala in its place for a tangy flavour.
