Lassi is a favourite drink of all age group. A refreshing drink on a hot day is a welcome treat. Especially in this hot summer and with the season of Mangoes. mmm...yummy drink..
During my childhood days, I have had relished this juicy sweet fruit from our own farm at Sholavandan. So,mentioning mangoes always has a fond memory.
Well ripen mango is a great combination with curd rice, which is a South Indian favored choice.
Moving to Chennai, I have had the taste of mango lassi. Since then, have a liking for the drink.
My family loves to have the drink on a Sunday afternoon.I used to make plain lassi when mango season is not around. But now a days have reduced the frequency due to its calorie count.
In this recipe, I have used honey as well. If not preferred, can replace it with more sugar.
Use fresh curd prepared at home. It can be slightly sour. A well set curd aids digestion.
