How to experience it
Visit between sightseeing stops, ideally late morning when the day is warming up. Ask for the shop's house lassi, which tourism pages describe as the saltier style, and ask for a sweet version if you prefer; many Patiala shops serve both.
Lassi in Punjab is thick, made from whisked curd and usually served in a tall steel or glass tumbler, sometimes topped with cream. Take a small glass, as a large one can replace lunch. If you are travelling with children, ask for the sweet version and less cream.
Drink it on the spot rather than carrying it around, as it is best fresh and cold. Combine the stop with a visit to the nearby bus-stand area or continue to Adalat Bazaar for shopping, and use bottled water between glasses.
