Plain thin chaas beside lunch
Buttermilk is whisked thin with roasted cumin and a pinch of rock salt, and drunk beside lunch. It replaces a sweet lassi. It does not promise kilos lost.
About plain chaas at lunch
Start with buttermilk and whisk in water until the glass looks thin and pale, not thick like lassi. Roasted cumin and rock salt are the only seasonings. Sugar, fruit pulp and cream do not belong in this glass.
Drink it with lunch, not as a bucket through the afternoon. If dairy does not suit you, skip it. This chaas does not promise kilos lost.
