                              Lassi is the ‘ancient smoothie’ or ‘desi smoothie’ that originated in Punjab, India. It is perhaps the first smoothie that is made with yoghurt. With years, it has acquired a worldwide acceptance starting from Britain, its former colonies and recently in the US. This traditional Indian tropical drink is drunk year-round but is most popular during the torment of summer. Here is the recipe for the most ubiquitous lassi flavour now; mango.

PREP TIME: 10 mins

INGREDIENTS

                  1 cup plain yoghurt
                  1/2 cup milk
                  1 cup chopped ripe mango or mango pulp
                  1-2 tablespoons sugar or adjust to taste
                  1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
                   pistachios to garnish (optional)
                   saffron strands to garnish (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS 

                   Put mango and sugar into a blender and blend.

                   Now add yoghurt, milk and cardamom, blend everything until well combined.

A glass of lassi after a meal is not only refreshing, it has several health benefits.
