How To Make Strawberry Lassi
1. Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly under running water. Remove the green stems then chop the strawberries into smaller pieces for easier blending.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped strawberries, plain yoghurt, milk, sugar, and a pinch of ground cardamom. Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy, ensuring that no lumps or chunks are remaining.
3. Taste the strawberry lassi and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more sugar if needed. If the lassi is too thick, you can thin it out by adding a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Transfer the strawberry lassi to serving glasses. Place the lassi in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the flavours to meld together.
5. When ready to serve, garnish the Strawberry Lassi with fresh strawberry slices and mint leaves for a pop of colour and flavour. Give the lassi a gentle stir before pouring it into glasses to ensure that any settled ingredients are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately and enjoy the cool, creamy goodness of homemade Strawberry Lassi.
