Mango Lassi – Indian Yogurt Drink

One of my eldest’s son’s favorite restaurants is near the forum in Inglewood. Last time, we ate there my daughter discovered their Sweet Traditional Mango Lassisweet, mango lassi. It is such a simple recipe, that now we make it at home the way the restaurant does. Plus, it is a great breakfast alternative because of the fruit and yogurt – that and you can put it in a cup and take it in the car for a breakfast or snack on the go.

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

  • 2 Cups Plain Yogurt
  • 2 Cans Sweetened Mango (like Dole) or Sweetened Mango Pulp (available in Indian Markets).
  • Additional Honey or Sugar to sweeten (optional).
  • Milk to thin (if desired).

 

Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve over ice. 

Classic Sangria with a kick

Sangria with BrandyThis recipe can be adjusted so easily to suit your tastes. It makes me really happy that whenever I make it, people rave. My friend Mary Ann told me it’s the best Sangria she’s ever had. It is a great drink to serve at a Paella dinner instead of multiple bottles of wine which can be expensive. The secret is both the concentrated orange (or lime)  juice and the additional liquor.

 

  • 1 Bottle Cheap Red Wine
  • 1/4 can Concentrated Orange or Lime Juice (or combo)
  • 1 Cup Cognac
  • 1/2 Cup Triple Sec
  • 2 Sliced Apples, Limes, Oranges
  • 1 Cup of frozen, seedless grapes (a fun touch but optional).

 

Mix to combine in pitcher. When ready to serve pour over ice and top with seltzer water.
