An absolute necessity to have on hand, growing up in the hot summer months in India. Any big household, with kids running around and adults returning home in the scorching summer heat absolutely thrived on chaas. Also, every old hindi movie had a scene with visitors being offered chaas to refresh themselves. Ok, so that is a lot of rambling for such a simple dish, but I tasted this after a long time and was taken back to those summers growing up and those awesome weddings where the guests could have unlimited glasses of this thirst quencher.
Curd/Yogurt - 1 cup
Water - 2 cups
Curry leaves - 2 to 3
Cilantro - 3 sprigs
Ginger - 1 inch
Green chili - 1
Crushed cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Salt - to taste
Chop the cilantro leaves, curry leaves, ginger and green chili into really tiny pieces. Whisk the curd/yogurt really smooth and add the chopped ingredients with the salt, cumin and water.
Whisk well and serve chilled. Mix everytime you serve this, as the curd tends to settle to the bottom.

Hello Bhavana
You have a great blog and it's nice to seeso many recipes explained so well with pictures and anecdotes. I too am a blogger like you. Recently I have found at least 3 blogs who have copied my pictures or recipes so I am always on a look out for copy cat blogs. Your picture for chaas is being used here:Pikachakula.com/recipe/how-to-make-masala-chaas/#axzz1oWXQSXQ1. This site has recently been using a lot of images from other blogger friends.
