"Weather" and "Food" are two such topics without which any conversation is incomplete. So yesterday while talking to my sister on the phone, not surprisingly both the topics came in our chat. She was complaining about the Indian heat and how I was enjoying here abroad. (If only she could experience the awful UK weather!!). Then as soon as we ended our chat, I suddenly thought of making "Lassi" for myself instead of my evening coffee. The Indian summer forced me to make a chilled glass of lassi. :)
Lassi is a typical North Indian (Punjabi) yoghurt based shake which after drinking makes you relax and hydrated in those scorching summers. Lassi is quite refreshing, healthy and quite filling. Lassi can be sweet or salty or can be modified by adding fruits to it. Mango Lassi is quite famous in restaurants. Well, today am just going to share you the very basic version of a LASSI. Drink it quick and wipe those white mustache from your lips and say aaaaaahhhhh!! :)
Ingredients:
- 300 ml curd
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder (if you can roast the cumin seeds before powdering it, nothing like it!!)
- 5-6 mint leaves
- 5 ice cubes
- pinch of salt
Garnishing:
- a sprig of mint leaf
- pinch of cumin powder
Method:
- Blend the above ingredients together in a blender/mixer until frothy. Garnish it with a mint leaf and sprinkle some cumin powder. Serve chilled.
- There's no step 2nd!! Isn't it super-duper easy? :)
