One of the few drinks, other than water, that is drunk with meals in India. It is typically made by replacing the sugar with salt. Other kinds of fruit can be substituted for bananas (like mangoes). It is an excellent drink to serve with spicy-hot foods.Apricot BarsSource: Marlene

This delicious dessert is not nearly as difficult to make as you may think. The hardest part is making sure the phyllo (filo) pastry doesn't dry out. Phyllo pastry is available in the freezer section of most supermarkets or at food specialty stores.
