Lassi is a yogurt based drink that originated from India. You can find Lassi stalls almost everywhere in India. Depending on the place or purpose, Lassi can be sweet or sour drink. Strawberry Lassi is one of the best variations of Lassi.
Strawberry lassi is an easy to make drink that is prepared by blending fresh strawberries with Yogurt and milk, and flavoured with Cardamom powder. Lassi is served after a heavy meal. So, if you want to replace your carbonated drinks with something healthier and tastier, you can prepare sweet strawberry lassi in just a few minutes.
