Now for those of you that don't know what Lassi(Lass-eeh)is, it's kind of like a milk shake gulped down like no tomorrow in the middle east (India & Pakistan more specifically) and that may be all fine and dandy, but what you need to know is that
-you can make it in under a minute (holy cow right?)
- You don't have to use the blender ( whoa.)
-And it is DEE-LICIOUS ! -

You will need
-Half a cup of yogurt
( my family is a bunch of fattys at heart & so we use 3% yogurt, but you can use any yogurt)-Half a cup of milk
-A whole lotta sugar.

Now whip out your mug & just pour the yogurt into the mug until the center
(more or less, doesn't need to be precise)Now, just throw that idea of a diet OUT the window and whip out some sugar. You can use a little, or a lot, it really just depends on your taste
I like my Lassi extra sweet, so i use about 2 teaspoons of sugar.For those healthy-mama's, you can always use honey -_- it won't be as great...

Oh but what's that you say ? You don't HAVE any plain yogurt on hand? Well you can always experiment, try different yogurts & blend in fruits
At my house, we have cans & loads of mango pulp which we use in place of the yogurt. You end up with a MANGO lassi.
The possibilities are endless really.
You can add pistachios ( & ruin it...:( if you're like me...)
You can cut little fruit pieces on top
Really, don't be afraid to experiment.
