My Little Food Critic: ‘Authentic Indian Food’ was inspired by author Shikha Gills' experiences of learning to cook with her Mother and Grandmother, many of the meals are those she grew up cooking with some modern tweaks. Most of her recipes are traditional North Indian dishes from the Panjab, where cooking is rich, decadent and big on flavour. Here we have her refreshing and healthy spin on a classic Mango Lassi drink that is perfect children.
Lassi is a traditional Indian drink that can be made savoury or sweet - and refreshing on warm days. The sweet version traditionally uses milk, yoghurt, spices, sugar and/or fruit. The flavours come together beautifully to create an aromatic and seriously delicious drink. The use of healing spices in Indian drinks adds anti inflammatory, digestive and immune boosting goodness that is beneficial to children and, adults alike.
