Gulkandwali Lassi

 

Buttermilk is considered to be cooling for the body. There is an ancient Sanskrit saying - " तक्रम शक्रस्य दुर्लभम " which means that the King of Gods - Indra doesn't have access to buttermilk. Since I never cared for buttermilk and yogurt since childhood, this was my mom's most favorite quote while forcing me to consume these thirst quenchers in hot summers of Mumbai.

 

I added my own twist for my family.
