How to make vegan avocado lassi?
Simply replace the yogurt with any plant-based yogurt like almond milk yogurt or soy yogurt to make the drink vegan-friendly.
Can I store it in the refrigerator?
You can chill it in the refrigerator or freezer for some time. But if you want to store for a longer time, it will oxidize.
Serving suggestions:
It is perfect to serve on hot summer afternoons. It can also be served as a dessert, snack or breakfast.
Tips:
- Always try to use fresh yogurt for the best taste.
- The consistency of the drink should be thick. The water quantity depends on the thickness of yogurt. Adjust the water accordingly.
- Use ripe avocados only.
- Do not skip adding cardamom. It gives the authentic Indian flavor.
- If possible use chilled water and chilled yogurt to avoid many ice cubes. It helps to maintain the lassi consistency.
Step by step preparation:
- Using a knife cut the avocado in half lengthwise around the pit. Gently twist the two halves apart and remove the pit.
- Scoop out the avocado and discard the peel.
- In a blender or food processer, add avocado, yogurt, cardamom powder and sugar and blend until creamy.
- Add the required water to it and blend it again.
- Add more water to adjust the consistency.
