Banana Lassi (Indian Yogurt Drink)

1. 1

   Note: You can add some cold water to thin out the lassi if you like and that's if you are using full fat yogurt. But I suggest if you are using fat free or thinner yogurt that you skip the water or the lassi will be too watery.

2. 2

   Peel and roughly slice the banana then place in a blender. Next add the yogurt, cardamom and the honey if using. Blend until the banana is completely broken down and ingredients are well blended. At this time you can check the consistency of the lassi and see if you would like to add water to thin it out, then blend again for a minute.

3. 3

   Serve straight away with a few ice cubes.

4. 4

   Another way I've experimented with this (on a really hot summer day) is by adding the ice cubes at the beginning of the blending so they break down and blend well with the other ingredients. This makes a very cold and refreshing lassi.
