What could be a better way than to welcome your guests with a glass brimming up with a chilled, creamy and spicy beverage. Mattha is a traditional summer cooler that is loved by people belonging mainly to the states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal and Maharashtra. The name ‘Mattha’ is a Maharashtrian word, which is another term used for buttermilk. Some might confuse mattha with chaas, but the very interesting difference you might always forget is that Mattha is spicy while chaas is mainly just sweet. In the states of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, you will hardly find a single soul not addicted to this drink. Mattha is religiously served as a welcome drink at every Indian household because of the strong flavours and spices that always leave one wanting for more. The beauty of this drink and the incredible charm to lure someone lies in a mix of both sweet and spice. Not only this, mattha can act as your partner when you are feeling low or have an upset stomach, helping you in curing digestive problems. What’s even better is that you can drink it any time of the day, after lunch or before breakfast and even with dinner.
