Buttermilk, also known as chaach, is obtained by churning fresh or pasteurized cream with little developed acidity. It is usually served cold after adding black salt, cumin powder and chopped coriander leaves. Broadly, there are two types of buttermilk available in the market – sweet cream and sour. It represents an integral part of a balanced diet and has been traditionally consumed as a refreshment drink for centuries in India.
