Indian cuisine, beloved for its extensive use of aromatic spices, can pack quite a punch to the palate. At Harrisburg’s Passage to India, order a lassi, the ideal beverage to balance your piquant entrée. Whether you’re enjoying vegetable xaccutti (pronounced “sha-ku-tee,” a spicy vegetable curry originating on the western coast of India) or chicken vindaloo (vinegar-marinated chicken with potatoes and pearl onions in a fiery sauce), this creamy beverage is sure to quench your thirst. The homemade yogurt shake can be ordered in a variety of flavors: plain, salted, sweet or infused with banana, blueberry or mango. The mango option, arguably the most popular type of lassi in Indian restaurants, is served at Passage to India using Alphonso mangos and topped with pistachios. Next time you’re in the mood for a refreshing sip, stroll down to Harrisburg’s Best Indian Restaurant to try this milky treat.
