Lassi, the go to cooling summer drink, just visit Indrachowk in Kathmandu and check out the queues at the lassi wallah stalls. Until recently lassi wasn’t that well known in the UK. It was the exotic drink parents would get for kids in the restaurant and first choice whenever I wanted cool mum points from my kids friends. Then one day for no apparent reason, other than why not?, I started putting alcohol in my lassi and have never looked back.
