A bright and cooling festive drink, this haldi chaas mocktail blends the goodness of yoghurt, turmeric, and herbs into a golden glass of comfort. It’s perfect for welcoming guests after travel or heavy Diwali snacks, offering a soothing balance of flavour, health, and tradition with every sip.
In a large mixing jug, add thick yoghurt and chilled water. Stir lightly until they merge into a smooth base. This creates the creamy foundation of your chaas and ensures the texture stays light without curdling.

Step 2: Add the Golden Touch
Add the fresh turmeric paste to the yoghurt-water mix. The fresh paste gives a warmer colour and richer aroma. Whisk gently so the turmeric spreads evenly, lending that signature golden hue.

Step 4: Whisk to Froth
