Long road trip with mostly dhaba stops — what's one food or habit that actually helped you avoid feeling heavy?
On long Indian highway trips where the only realistic stops are dhabas and roadside stalls, meals can be tasty but leave you sleepy and sluggish behind the wheel. If you could pick just one thing you actually pack or ask for that helped with energy, light protein, or hydration during the drive, what was it and why?

Ask for chaas (salted buttermilk). It’s widely available at dhabas, low‑calorie, replenishes fluids/electrolytes, and the live cultures plus spices (cumin) aid digestion — so you stay hydrated and less heavy than after a ghee‑rich meal. Prefer freshly made chaas and avoid sweet lassis.
