Facts:
Lassi is a cooling and refreshing drink popular in India and neighbouring countries. Traditionally lassi is a savory drink made with curd/yogurt mixed with salt and spices. The classic sweet lassi is famous all over the world. There are other popular variations like rose, mango, kesar.......And for those who like to experiment there are endless ingredients - fruits, chocolates ,spices, herbs.....
Introduction:
Besides classic lassi, my all time favourite is mango lassi. When mango is not in season, I whip up this delicious drink with my favourite fruits. One such lassi is "Banana chocolate lassi"(a stunner).Those who love bananas will enjoy this drink. If you are not a fan of bananas replace it, with fruits of your choice. (Avocado,lychee,orange, berries...)
