Drinks and dairy include lassi, mango drinks, soft drinks, condensed milk and products that complete an Indian meal. Smooth lassi is served cold alongside spiced dishes; mango drink works as a snack or accompaniment; condensed milk is used in chai, desserts and sweet preparations. As well as accompanying the table, some items help adjust a recipe’s balance: a spoonful of yoghurt or plain lassi cools it down, while condensed milk rounds out a dessert. Use the stated quantities as a starting point.

Serve drinks well chilled and shake them if the pack recommends it. Plain lassi can balance a chilli-led curry, while mango lassi suits snacks and sweets. When cooking, measure condensed milk gradually because it adds sweetness and texture at the same time. Check every format to see whether it needs chilling before or after opening.
