Last week on Facebook we had many great responses to our question, “What do you like to drink with Indian food?” A popular response included a variety of Lassis – As a result we’ve decided to share how to make Mango Lassi and Mint Lassi for the first installment of Cooking with Sukhi.
Lassi is a popular and traditional Indian yogurt-based drink. They can be prepared sweet or salty, vegan friendly, and include Indian spices and flavors. Lassi’s make a great afternoon snack or a special surprise for your next party.
