Pakistani Mango Lassi
138
Lassi is a delicious summertime beverage from Pakistan; and also popular in Bangladesh and India. The best description I can come up with is: “a cross between a milkshake and a smoothie”; a very healthy smoothie I may add. According to my Pakistani friend Huma, it is a must at dinner time, to help the body beat the intense summer heat. Lassi is often prepared with mango not only for its health benefits, but also because mangoes are plentiful in this part of the world.
