Shahi Chaach (Mughal Era Inspired)

This Shahi Chaach gets its perfect winter warmth from a little kesar.

A royal, aromatic, cooling yet lightly warming chaach — just like the refreshing drinks served in Mughal kitchens.

Ingredients (2 glasses)
• 1 cup curd (dahi)
• 1½ to 2 cups cold water
• 6–8 strands kesar (saffron) soaked in 1 tbsp rose water (gulab jal)
• 6–8 fresh mint (pudina) leaves, lightly torn
• Buddharatna Himalayan Heeng–Jeera Salt — to taste
• Optional:
• A pinch roasted jeera powder
• Dried rose petals for garnish

✨ Method

1. Whisk the Curd

In a bowl, whisk the curd until smooth and creamy.

2. Add Water

Pour in cold water gradually and whisk again until the chaach becomes light and frothy — the Mughal way.

3. Add Kesar & Rose Water

Add the saffron-infused water and rose water.
Kesar gives a gentle natural warmth; rose adds a delicate royal fragrance.

4. Add Pudina

Tear the mint leaves by hand and drop them in.
(Hand-torn mint releases oils more naturally.)

5. Season

Add Buddharatna Himalayan Heeng–Jeera Salt to taste.
This gives the chaach:
• warmth from roasted jeera
• digestive support from heeng
• a balanced mineral taste from Himalayan salt

6. Rest & Serve

Let it rest for 5 minutes so the flavours open up.
Pour into glasses and garnish with a kesar strand or rose petal.

🌿 Chef Bilkis Tip

For an even more royal taste, chill the chaach for 10 minutes before serving. The kesar and mint sharpen beautifully.

I had the incredible opportunity to be part of The Usha Slurrp Great Indian Cookout Season 4, co-presented by Aashirvaad and what an experience it was!

As a chef, being amidst some of India’s most passionate food enthusiasts and culinary masters felt truly inspiring. The event was a beautiful celebration of flavours, innovation, and creativity, powered by iconic brands like Usha and Aashirvaad.

We witnessed amazing masterclasses by the talented Neha Deepak Shah, Amrita Raichand, and Akanksha Sehgal each sharing their unique approach to cooking with flair and finesse.
