Salted Buttermilk (Chaas) and Indian Sweet Yogurt Drink  (Lassi) comes from the same source Curd/ Yogurt / Dahi. Lassi is purely made from thick curd and the butter of curd. Whereas Salted Buttermilk is made by adding water to yogurt and discarding the thick cream Or butter of curd by straining the whey through a muslin cloth. Later same whey is mixed with water and some spices. Chaas is a very traditional drink and is great for digestion and reduces all digestive related issues thereby cooling your body.

I have used the fat curd and not just the whey. As I love my buttermilk slightly thicker. Also in India there are varieties of buttermilk found like Salted Buttermilk, Mildly spiced Buttermilk, Very Spicy Buttermilk etc.

This buttermilk is mildly spiced and chilled. Salted Buttermilk is refreshing, cool, healthy and yummy. Cool, refreshing summer drink, low fat and healthy! Worth trying this summer. In Mumbai you get various kind of chaas mainly salted and masala chaas. Even in Pune you get lovely chaas with vadapav at Camp.
