Chajraean

Chajraean, also known as Chajra or Chajraean, is a traditional beverage from the Indian subcontinent, particularly enjoyed in regions like Punjab. It is a fermented drink made by fermenting rice or wheat with natural yeasts, resulting in a mildly alcoholic, tangy, and refreshing drink. Often consumed during festivals or special occasions, Chajraean is valued for its cultural significance and probiotic qualities, which can aid digestion. Its preparation varies regionally, but it generally involves fermenting grains in water over several days, producing a drink similar in taste to a light, fermented grain beverage.
