Sattu whisked into cold water with lemon, black salt, roasted cumin, green chilli and mint. Savoury, never sweet — Bihar's summer drink, and better for you than anything in a bottle.
Mixed Achar
Raw mango, lemon, gooseberry and green chilli cured in mustard oil with panch phoron and left in the sun. No vinegar, no preservative — the oil and the salt do the work. A spoon of it goes out with every meal; this is the full jar, for people who ran out.
