Curd and chaas are a must in the summer. As coolers and digestives, they offer twin benefits during the hot months. City chefs say a lot more can be done with these dairy products. Mid-day Online reached out to city chefs for recipes of delicious dishes and drinks that can be made from buttermilk and curd, both of which are a necessity in this sweltering heat. From a unique take on the classic buttermilk to chicken wings, here are their recommendations.
Dungar chaas by Chef Ranveer Brar
While there are quite a few recipes for celebrity chef Ranveer Brar to choose from, he suggests enjoying some Dungar Chaas. Drinking the spiced version of buttermilk, better known as chaas, has its benefits. "It is a great digestive that helps soothe the stomach like nothing else and actually flushes out the fat,” he says. With this recipe, Brar wanted to create an earthy take on the classic beverage. "Dhungaar or smoking as a technique is very special to me, having started my culinary life making kebabs. The smoked aroma beautifully enhances the spices in the chaas, resulting in both the smell and the senses getting activated together. Above all, this recipe is a perfect blend of the hearty Punjabi (chaas) and the subtle Lucknawi (dhungaar) in me," he adds.
