Ingredients
1 cup Chilled plain yogurt
1 Green chili, finely minced
small handful Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
small handful Curry leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Fresh ginger juice
¾ teaspoon Chaat masala
¾ teaspoon Black salt (kala namak)
Salt, to taste
2 cups Water, chilled
Directions
Pour the chilled yogurt into a blender or bowl with a wire whisk.
Add the finely minced green chili, chopped cilantro, chopped curry leaves, ginger juice, chaat masala, black salt, and salt to taste into the yogurt.
Blend or whisk the mixture until the herbs and chili are almost ground into tiny particles, ensuring a smooth consistency without noticeable chunks. This prevents biting into the chili and herb pieces while drinking.
Add the chilled water to the blended mixture and whisk or blend again until well combined and frothy.
If the mixture is not sufficiently chilled, refrigerate for 15–20 minutes. Pour into serving glasses and serve immediately while cold.
