Trivia
[Hardcore] Even in modern times when electric mixers do it in seconds, stubborn Lassi shops/homes in Punjab keep using this wooden stick saying 'real taste won't emerge without Madhani'. This centrifugal force is also deemed indispensable when separating/extracting homemade 'white butter (Makhan)' from milk fat.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Usage] Instead of a cold electric mixer rotation, primitively rotate the stick by rubbing palms together like starting a fire, injecting your own energy into the Lassi!
