home at last
after 6 long months of travelling we've finally made it back to india, the birth place of chaiwallahs , the inspiration , and were loving it ! to be surrounded again by such vibrant , aromatic, rich exciting food is a breath of fresh air , and over the next 2 months we will be bringing you plenty of new recipes and inspiration for your kitchen at home. were in the hot season right now which means 48 degrees most day , so while were trying to force down all the delicious food in this heat , our main staple diet is the lassi , as shown above in the earthen clay bowls....lassi... in all its awesomeness is the indian version of a milk shake, however they are made from unpasterised yoghurt derived from buffalos . depending on the lassi wallah , they are usually quickly whipped up with some crushed ice and water then dumped into the bowl which keeps it nice and cool.
i always go for lemon as opposed to mango or apple so as to not mask the flavour of the amazing yoghurt. to top it off it is finished with a big scoop of cream from the top of the bowl.....amazing ^^
