Summer's finally here - a bit unusual to be saying this in mid-July but the weather's been a bit dicey with the relentless monsoon rains we've had recently (note the vibrant green of the lawn). Yogurt, a staple in our fridge, is the star here in lassi, a beverage made of yogurt, presented sweet or savoury. The latter may not suit the uninitiated but I find it very refreshing.
Mango Lassi
- mangos, 2, skinned and cubed
- plain yogurt, 1 cup
- sugar, 1 tsp (if needed only)
- Blend together till creamy and serve
Ginger-Lime Lassi
- yoghurt, 1 cup
- ginger, grated, 1/2 tsp
- zest of lime, 1/2 tsp
- juice of lime, 1 tbsp
- green chili, 1/2, chopped
- coriander/cilantro leaves, a few - to garnish
- salt, pinch of
- cummin, ground, 1/8 tsp
- Whip the yogurt till creamy
- Add all the other ingredients and serve
