I have a few recipes for the upcoming Holi festival and this strawberry lassi is one of them. Actually I wanted to make a bhaang lassi or bhaang pakoras, but its not available where we live. I have also come to know that bhaang which is kind of an intoxicant is banned in many Indian states. Usually people make simple and sweet Punjabi Lassi. But you can add flavors of few seasonal fruits to the lassi and make Fruit Lassi like this strawberry lassi or a Mango lassi. Lassi can be served even for brunches or for a filling breakfast. You can also prep ahead and make lassi to be served later after few hours. While making strawberry lassi, remember to use fresh yogurt. The yogurt should not be sour. I have used here homemade curd (yogurt). The method is easy and you can easily make this recipe in huge quantities or double and triple it. This is a creamy thick rose-scented strawberry lassi as I have added both cream and rose water. Skip the cream and rose water if you do not prefer them.
How make Strawberry Lassi
- First rinse the strawberries a few times in water. Drain all the water and set the strawberries aside. Remove the top green stems and then chop the strawberries if they are large-sized. It is better to use sweet tasting strawberries while making this strawberry drink. Add them to a blender together with sugar or honey or your preferred sweetener. Blitz to make a smooth and fine puree of the strawberry and sugar or honey in the blender.
- Then add chilled or cold curd (yogurt), low-fat cream or light cream and rose water. Make sure that the yogurt is fresh and has a sweet-sour taste. It should not be overly sour or tangy.
- Blend till the yogurt is whipped well and evenly mixed with the strawberry puree. Don’t overdo. You can also pulse for some seconds instead of blending.
- Pour in tall glasses and garnish with strawberry slices. Serve strawberry lassi immediately. You can also add some ice cubes while serving. Please be sure to rate the recipe in the recipe card or leave a comment below if you have made it.
