Lassi is a sweet Indian drink made from yogurt - it's perfect for cooling your mouth while eating spicy food.

Since my cooking has evolved into making more vegetarian dishes there has been an increase in the spices I use. It seems quite a few dishes I prepare have a little kick to them. We've found this drink to be useful for cooling the taste buds off as well as having plenty of nutrients and tasty too!
