Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad played the doctor on Sunday, advising journalists on how to beat the heat at his 10, Circular Road residence in Patna. His first piece of medical wisdom was to boil unripe mangoes and then drink the juice with mint, pepper and water.
Next, he told them to rub boiled tikola (unripe mango) juices on their bodies before taking a bath. There are more than 10 mango trees at his home and he said he uses their fruits for his family.
True to his Bihari roots, he also advised people to eat sattu (roasted gram flour). "A few glasses of sattu juice will help you feel relaxed in the heat," said the former chief minister.
