Lassi

On a warn summer day, almond lassi provides a cool refreshing drink with a rich nutty taste. Stir occasionally to

prevent the nuts from settling down at the bottom of the glass and serve chilled.

Serves 6:

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

Almond, peeled and ground – 100 gm (This is available ready made in most super stores.)
Yoghurt – 500 ml
Sugar – 8 teaspoon or to taste.
Almond essence – few drops. (Optional)
Water – 500 ml
Ice cubes – handful.

Method:

Put the ground almonds, yoghurt, sugar, almond essence, water, ice cubes in a blender and blend for a minute.

Variation:

You can use cashew nuts, plain unsalted peanuts, pistachios or walnuts as a substitute for almonds.

Tips:

Add only ice (no water) if you want the lassi to have a thick and smooth consistency.
