Strawberry Lassi | Recipe Hub 97

 Strawberry Lassi


Strawberry Lassi is a refreshing and creamy Indian drink made with yogurt, strawberries, sugar, and flavored with cardamom. Here's how you can make it


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt or regular yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and chop them into small pieces.
    • Measure out the yogurt, milk, sugar, and ground cardamom.

  2. Blend the Ingredients:

    • In a blender, combine the chopped strawberries, yogurt, milk, sugar, and ground cardamom.
    • Blend until smooth and creamy. If the lassi is too thick, you can add more milk to adjust the consistency.

  3. Taste and Adjust:

    • Taste the lassi and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more sugar if needed. Blend again to mix well.

  4. Chill (Optional):

    • If you prefer a chilled lassi, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before serving. Alternatively, you can add a few ice cubes to the blender and blend again to make it cold and frosty.

  5. Serve:

    • Pour the strawberry lassi into serving glasses.
    • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness and flavor, if desired.

  6. Enjoy:

    • Serve the refreshing and creamy strawberry lassi immediately.
    • Stir before drinking if it separates slightly.

Variations:

  • Honey Strawberry Lassi: Replace sugar with honey for a natural sweetener.
  • Rose Strawberry Lassi: Add a splash of rose water or rose syrup for a floral aroma.
  • Almond Strawberry Lassi: Blend in a few soaked and peeled almonds for added creaminess and nutty flavor.

Feel free to adjust the ingredients and proportions according to your taste preferences. Strawberry lassi is best enjoyed as a cooling drink on a hot day or as a delightful accompaniment to spicy Indian meals.
