Tips & Suggestions
Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavour. If fresh strawberries are not available, frozen strawberries work as well.
Use plain yogurt. Both low-fat and full-fat varieties work well, but full-fat yogurt will give a richer, creamy taste.
Adjust the amount of sugar based on the sweetness of your strawberries. You can also experiment with other sweeteners like maple syrup, honey or agave syrup.
While cardamom powder is optional, it adds a nice flavour to the lassi. Additionally, rose water can be added too.
