OH! FOR THE LOVE OF. . . .

One college girl's search to understand growing up, and the lost art of loving herself and the world through food!

special occassions! or. . . NOT!

Mango Lassi!

It is a drink, from India, that is usually only served during special events. When I first had it, I was at an Indian wedding (a three day event!). I downed about 4 of them! They are sweet and fun and all around banging!

The recipe is easy! Fantastic for summer or when eating something spicy as the creaminess of it negates the heat!

1 cup mango
1 cup PLAIN yogurt
1/2 cup milk
(optional) dash of cardamon
sugar to taste (usually about 5 tps for me >.> but I like mine really sweet)

peel and chop mango
place chopped mango, yogurt, milk, and sugar (and cardamon if desired) in blender and liquefy!
serve cold!

I loved this, except I gave up sugar for lent and used sweet and low. Not exactly bad, but I prefer granulated sugar! Oh well, it is only forty days. *shrug*
