Masala Boondi Buttermilk is a very popular healthy and nourishing drink for beating the summers.The mint escalates its cooling effect and gives this chaach a very stimulating taste. The cumin seeds,  mint, and ginger used in Masala Boondi Chaach greatly enhance its taste. I grew up seeing my mother make at least two jugs of buttermilk daily during the scorching summers. We would enjoy this refreshing drink more than the meals.
