Spiced Lassi/Chaas (Yogurt)

Remembering the most wonderful summer- we friends were often caught with our eyes peeking through the glass doors of a close by Sweet-Mart with our cheeks clenched against the doors! Occasionally we could hear the owner yelling and throwing things at his workers... which would freeze us for a moment- The owner would then look at us and laugh! Once, I remember him throwing a potato (aiming at his worker) whizzing past our heads only to plunk into the Spiced Lassi of a Customer:-)
