Chaas

Chaas or chaach is a salted drink like lassi; however, chaas contains more water than lassi and has the butterfat removed, so its consistency is not as thick as lassi. Salt and Jeera (cumin seeds) are normally added for taste and sometimes even fresh coriander. Fresh ground ginger & green chillies may also be added as seasoning. Chaas is popular in the Indian states Gujarat and Rajasthan, where it is drunk with the main meal.[citation needed] It is known to aid digestion[citation needed] and is an excellent coolant in the Indian and Pakistani summers[citation needed]. It is called 'majjige' in Kannada, 'taak' in Marathi, 'majjiga' in Telugu, 'moru' in Tamil and Malayalam, and 'ghol' in Bengali.
