In this contemporary era, where our diet has become as glamorous as fashion, people believe that superfoods come from some faraway land and are expensive too. 50 Desi Super Drinks by Lovneet Batra aims to burst this bubble and make people believe that any food that is homegrown, seasonal and fresh can be considered as a superfood. Along with the facts, come the recipes. They are 100 per cent Indian at heart, natural, easy to prepare.

The subject chosen is exemplary and unique. The author is giving us the recipe of fifty indigenous drinks. These are the drinks that are so common in India that we drink them routinely (or have stopped now after becoming westernized) without even knowing their health benefits and healing attributes. The book serves two purposes (at least). First, to remind those who have forgotten and tell those who are ignorant, the miraculous features of fifty Indian drinks, and secondly, the right way to prepare such delicious drinks that will be loved by your palate.
