Can we have halim seeds with lassi
Tarla Dalal
29 Jul 21 01:52 PM
   No, we would not recommend the use of halim seeds with lassi. This is because lassi is a good source of calcium and halim seeds are known for being a good source of iron and excess calcium hinders iron absorption.

Pls can we use orange instead of lemon for the halim drink.
Tarla Dalal
24 Jul 21 02:43 PM
   Yes, you can add orange juice instead of lemon juice. Both are rich in vitamin C and will help in the absorption of iron from halim seeds.
