Recipe- Refreshing Mint Lassi

A mint lassi is simply mint and yogurt, with a bit of sweetener, whirled into a smooth and refreshing drink. Mint lassis have great flavor, but they also have tremendous power to cool, both against high temperatures outside and hot spices on a plate. Try this refreshing drink to cool off on a hot afternoon, or serve it alongside spicy food at dinner to help tame the mouth-burning heat. You can even start a hot day off with one at breakfast and enjoy it as more of a smoothie.

Ingredients

2 cups yogurt
10-15 mint leaves
1/2 teaspoon black salt
1/4 teaspoon roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera)
4-5 ice cubes

Method

- Combine all the ingredients in a blender leaving a few mint leaves for garnishing and blend till smooth.

- Pour the lassi into glasses and sprinkle little roasted cumin powder on the top.
