#flavoursofholi - Thandai is a refreshing Indian drink which is also known as Sardai. It is basically an array of nuts and various spices, ground together, mixed with milk and served. It goes hand in hand with the festival of Holi and Mahashivratri in the Northern part of India.
But I tried it with buttermilk and some store bought pedas for a creamier texture. This Thandai Lassi equally tastes yummy when served chilled. So go ahead and give it a try and I am sure you will love it.
