Piyush is a smooth and creamy beverage authentic, popular, traditional in
Maharashtra. This decadant Maharashtrian drink is made from shrikhand and
buttermilk or curd. It is an excellent drink when you are fasting or even just
to perk up on a hot day. Nutmeg and cardamom are just to add flavour and aroma
to piyush. Piyush is a bit similar to the popular Punjabi drink LASSI but in
comparison Piyush is more thick and creamy and sweeter than lassi. It is so
because we have added shrikhand in it and shrikhand itself is thick, creamy and
sweet. Piyush is very popular in Mumabi and Gujarat and served at lots of
places in Dadar, Mumbai now a days. It is said that Piyush was first made and
served at Tambe Aarogya Bhuvan in Dadar. Tambe Aarogya Bhuvan is one of the
oldest restaurants in Mumbai. It is established in 1941 and is famous for
serving Maharashtrian Food. They add only nutmeg and saffron for flavouring
their Piyush. If you visit Dadar in Mumbai, do visit this place. Enjoy a
classic Maharashtrian and a typical Mumbaikar’s favourite Piyush in this summer
and do let me know how you liked it. Do not forget to share and like.
