Using a [[mortar and pestle]], the leaves of cannabis are ground into a paste which can be added to foods. For a beverage it is mixed with milk and filtered, then often flavored with [[Desmostachya bipinnata|kusha grass]], sugar, fruit, and various spices. In [[Mathura]] it can be found in bhang ''[[thandai]]'' and bhang [[lassi]]. Bhang is also mixed with [[ghee]] and sugar to make a purple [[halva]], and into peppery, chewy little balls called ''goli'' (which means "tablet" or "pill") in Hindi. Another form is ''bhang [[chutney]]'', also called ''bhangeera ki chutney'', a dish served in [[Kumaoni cuisine]] from [[Uttarakhand]]. It is made from grinding cannabis/bhang seeds with mint, tomatoes and different spices. | Using a [[mortar and pestle]], the leaves of cannabis are ground into a paste which can be added to foods.
