This was prepared and served to farmers or workers for a long sunny day to keep them hydrated and protected, it is in fact the best drink for the Indian summer. It is made with whisked dahi and a number of additions to give a different taste. Nowadays in the market we find additions like mango, masala and many more. It can be made sweet or salted in taste up to the individual preference.
