• Recipe of the Week

    Mango Lassi

    You'll want to make a lot of this. I triple the recipe, and we always go through it. It's perfect with spicy Indian food because the yogurt helps mitigate the spice if it gets to be too much.

    Ingredients

    1 c. yogurt, plain

    1/2 c. milk

    1 1/3 c. mango, chopped (or canned or frozen)

    cardamom, fresh ground if possible

    sugar or honey to taste (optional)

    Directions: Throw everything but the cardamom in the blender and blend until smooth. Top with cardamom before serving. You can also garnish with fresh mint leaves.
