Borhani
Bangladeshi drinks From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borhani (Bengali: বোরহানী) is a traditional yogurt-like[1] drink from Bangladesh.[2] Borhani is made from sour doi, green chili, mustard seeds, black salt, coriander and mint.[3] It is considered by some to be a type of lassi.[4] It is very commonly consumed in Dhaka and Chittagong regions of Bangladesh, where it is served in special events such as weddings and iftar gatherings in Ramadan. It is normally drank after heavy meals such as biryani, morog polao and tehari[5] to aid digestion although appetizer borhanis do exist.[6][7][8]
