Mattha
Mattha is a beverage, originating from the Indian subcontinent, made with dahi or buttermilk mixed with spices and sugar. Plain buttermilk is also called Mattha in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Tripura. Ingredients added to buttermilk to make mattha may include mint, roasted cumin seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves, salt and sugar.
Mattha may also be smoked before serving for flavour. It is generally served before or after a meal, though it can also be consumed with the meal, and it is thought to help with digestion. Mattha is similar to Chaas, which is also called chhanch or ghol, but spicier and is known as Mohi in Nepal.
