It is made by blending yogurt with water, salt, and spices until frothy. Yogurt sweetened with honey is used in rituals. Traditional lassi is sometimes flavored with ground roasted cumin. The lassi is sometimes served with milk and is topped with a thin layer of Devonshire cream. Lassis are enjoyed chilled as a hot-weather refreshment, mostly taken with lunch.Experthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07966442090835353316noreply@blogger.comBlogger4125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493345362467740214.post-16426685575121846442008-07-22T17:53:00.002-07:002008-07-23T16:00:43.049-07:002008-07-23T16:00:43.049-07:00Pineapple Lassi<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <BLOCKQUOTE> <P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>1 cup ripe, fresh pineapple (peeled and diced)<BR>125 ml/1/2 cup plain, natural yoghurt<BR>125 ml/1/2 cup water<BR>2 tbsp sugar<BR>cup ice cubes</FONT> </P> <P><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Place all ingredients in the jug of an electric blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
