As Bollywood actor Bhagyashree talks about the health benefits of buttermilk or chaas in one of her Instagram videos, nostalgia sets in. Often considered a coolant in our households, buttermilk needs no special introduction. Mothers and grandmothers have fed us this tangy tasting drink, sometimes as a salty drink with mint leaves and sometimes as a sweet drink, innumerable times. Be it with a heavy breakfast or with a light lunch, buttermilk has always been a part of the diet.
Buttermilk is a common name in Indian households. It is fermented dairy milk which is prepared after churning out the fat content from it. It is slightly tangy in taste and is consumed as a salty drink or a sweet drink.
