Vaghareli Chhash is the ultimate cooling accompaniment that completes every authentic Gujarati meal. It is made by whisking fresh yogurt with water and adding a flavorful tempering of mustard seeds, cumin, and curry leaves. The addition of crushed ginger and green chilies provides a subtle warmth that balances the cold buttermilk. The texture is thin and smooth, making it easy to sip throughout the meal. Drinking this after lunch is an ancestral tradition believed to significantly improve digestion and hydration.
