Add rum to your lassi for a delicious mid-summer treat.

Lassi is a yogurt-based drink popular in South Asia, with mango lassi being the preferred cooling and soothing accompaniment to good roti or a spicy place of biryani. The wonderful people behind Parkdale’s  My Roti Place added just a little bit of rum to kick up the drink’s mid-summer appeal.
