Passion fruit Lassi/ Passion fruit flavoured sweet Yogurt

Hot summer has arrived! Craving for cool drinks and looking for multiple options to cool your body & mind? If you are considering health factor, Lassi or flavored yogurt, masala buttermilk is the best option. These probiotic rich drinks should be your first pick for you or your family in these lengthy bright days. Here you find the recipe for simplest lassi with passion fruit.
Passion fruit is a nutritious fruit rich in vitamins, minerals, anti oxidants & fibre. The flavour & taste makes it perfect for fresh juice, rasam, gojju, sasive & even in baking a cake.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

Passion fruit pulp – ¼ cup, or 2 fruits

Chilled fresh curds – 1.5 cup

Water – ¼ cup

Sugar/ honey –2 tsp, adjust to taste

Salt – a pinch(optional), I don’t use it

Method:

• Initially, prepare the passion fruit juice. To make it, cut the fruit. Scoop out the pulp into a mixer juice jar. Add the water and blend once just to separate the juice from the seeds.
• Strain using a juice strainer.
• Now using the same jar, churn or blend all the ingredients (curds, passion fruit juice, sugar or honey) once to combine all well.
• Transfer to the serving glass and serve chilled with optional added ice cubes.

Notes:

• You can use (homemade) passion fruit squash or juice if available handy. In that case you just check and add the sugar only if required as juice contains it.
• You can optionally top the lassi with a teaspoon of fresh passion fruit pulp if you like its seeds. I like this way.
