Fermented milk from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal
Chaas / mattha / moru / majjige (traditional South Asian buttermilk)छाछ
Chaas is the thin buttermilk left when dahi is churned for butter, drunk salted or spiced with meals. Milk is boiled, cooled to body heat, set overnight with a little old dahi, then churned for butter. Dairies make a cultured version from soured low-fat milk, chilled and mixed with fermented paneer whey, salt and cumin.

Recipe
Amounts from a sourceHousehold chaas has no fixed amounts; the starter rate is from FAO (1990). The salt and cumin rates are from a tested dairy recipe for spiced cultured buttermilk (Maheta et al. 2014).

At a glance
Chaas is the thin buttermilk left when dahi is churned for butter, drunk salted or spiced with meals. Milk is boiled, cooled to body heat, set overnight with a little old dahi, then churned for butter. Dairies make a cultured version from soured low-fat milk, chilled and mixed with fermented paneer whey, salt and cumin. Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus does most of the fermenting.
Chaas is the by-product of churning dahi for butter, not a ferment of its own; the souring happens in the dahi, and the butter is taken off before it is drunk. FAO describes lassi as this same buttermilk mixed with a little cold water and drunk sweetened or salted; chaas is usually salted and spiced.
Mahi (Nepal)FAO records mahi as the Nepali name for lassi, the buttermilk thinned with a little cold water.
Cultured (dairy) buttermilkLow-fat (1.5 % fat) milk soured with Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus at 37 ± 2 °C for 5 h, stirred and cooled below 10 °C, then mixed with fermented paneer whey (30 % in the tests, where plain water was the control) instead of water, with salt and cumin; it stayed acceptable for 5 days at 7 ± 2 °C.
Safety
Traditional buttermilk does not keep; FAO gives lassi, chaas thinned with cold water, a shelf life of no more than 4 to 5 hours, so it is drunk as soon as it is made. In one study, a lab-made cultured buttermilk with paneer whey stayed acceptable to tasters for about 5 days at 7 °C in sealed glass bottles.
