It's been hot of late and yesterday was very hot. The kind of day when you don't feel like eating much. Late afternoon I made this and took myself off to a shady spot with a book.
Lassi is a yoghurt based drink popular in India. It's hard for me to say the word as my Scottish origins change it to a very broad "lassie" which changes its meaning entirely. That aside, it's cool, comforting and silky rich and there's not much exertion required. Just right for summer.
Mango Lassi
Serves 1
1/4 cup Greek or plain yoghurt
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/2 fresh mango, skin removed and cut into cubes
2 large ice cubes
Place all the ingredients in a blender and whizz until all combined. Pour into a glass to serve.
I like the thickness of the drink but you can add a little extra orange juice or milk if you prefer.
