Ragi masala chaas recipe

Ragi masala chaas,prepared using ragi flour and spiced yogurt, a refreshing and filling summer coolant. Most of the summer day mornings, we don't feel like having breakfast and sometimes standing in the kitchen to an elaborate breakfast will be too tiring. This Ragi masala chaas can be made in 15 minutes and it's a quite filling drink too. You can pack this in a leak proof bottle to work also. You can adjust the consistency as per your preference. I have tried this few times but never get a chance to click the pictures. This morning, i made this for myself and finally had some time to click the pictures.
