  1. My girls love the froth on top of lassi glass and always fight for it.Such a refreshing and tasty summer drink.

  2. Avin, I loved the images dear. Great ones. We south indians, be it rain or shine, dont sleep without having curd at the end of the meal. It is an absolute must. Ofcourse with the way the summers have begun this year, a big jug of this buttermilk has to be stored in the fridge. Great share.

  3. There is something about Chaas that can soothe the mind on a hot summer day. Your glass of chaas is so frothy that I am sure it will give someone a “moustache”
