Mango Lassi

Lassi is a traditional Indian beverage, originally from Punjab, made by blending yogurt with water, salt, and spices until frothy. Traditional lassi is sometimes flavored with ground roasted cumin. The Lassi of the Punjab sometimes uses a little milk and is topped with a thin layer of malai, a clotted cream, also known as Devonshire cream. Lassis are enjoyed chilled as a hot-weather refreshment.Sweet lassi is a more recent invention, flavored with sugar, rosewater and/or mango, strawberry, pineapple, lychee or other any fruit juice.Out of these my favorite one is mango lassi...
