Vegan buttermilk (Beverage)

Buttermilk for a gujrati is as must as having water after food. In gujrati it is called “Chhachh” or “Chhas”. Being a gujju myself I know that every Gujrati house has buttermilk compulsory like lassi for Punjabi.

In the journey of becoming vegan I tried to find many alternatives for milk products that I used to consume and one was buttermilk in them.

The best thing about vegan buttermilk is, we have many different plant-based kinds of milk available, so there can be many ways to prepare buttermilk. Every milk gives a different taste. It is sour and salty in taste because of lemon and salts.

This buttermilk I prepared from almond milk as I normally have that available for tea.

Plant based Milk – 1cup
