Banana Lassi Recipe ( for 1 serving / 1 glass)

- A blender

- Fruit of choice - 1 Banana, Mangoes, Strawberries or any type of fruits at all ( cut or diced these fruits so that it blends easily in the blender)

- Yoghurt - about 4 big tablespoons, it can be more so it's up to you

- Honey (optional) - I happened to have a jar of Manuka Honey laying around so I drop about 1 teaspoon of it into the blender

- Some ice cubes (optional)

Instructions :

Simply throw the diced up banana, yoghurt, honey and ice cubes into the blender, blend well and it's good to drink!

Some recipes do add in some milk, cardamom powder and even vanilla pod into their lassi minus the ice and honey. Hence it goes to show that you can have it however that you like to have in your lassi. Either way as long as you have the yoghurt and fruit combination, that should be a lassi drink alright.

In addition, this banana lassi or any lassi is best served cold and it can be a great drink to have during a hot summer day. There you go a perfectly easy Banana Lassi recipe that you can make at home on your own. I still wonder though, why in the world they always charge so much for a big glass of lassi in the restaurant. Haha.

 

 

 

 

 

Photo Essay : Incredible India Travel

India is an incredibly diverse country. You need to travel to India with no expectation but one thing for sure you can always expect a day to day incredible adventure. Travelling to India is also like meddling in a love-hate relationship. You can love and hate it all at same time. It is tough trying to define what India is all about but this catchy T-shirt phrase simply nails it.

So what is India all about? India is about an incredible country that is weird, whacky, wild and last but not least, absolutely wonderful that will beg for you to come back for more. Yes, you will want more of India after your first visit there.

When it comes to the weird stuffs, they have loads of them. For example these bananas :

They have Kothe Dumplings served in the menu at a Chinese Restaurant. If you must know, Kothe is literally translated in Malay as Penis. Haha. Imagine a Malaysian ordering, " One Kothe(Penis) Dumplings please" to the waiter. That sounds so wrong! Haha!

When it boils down to the incredibly wonderful, nothing beats the delicious Indian culinary cuisines. My ultimate favourite food has to be the delicious, authentic cuisines from Kerala. Their curry is definitely something to die for.



There you go, a little bit and pieces of the incredible India. There are obviously more to India than what I've pictured here. However, by far, these are the best simplest things that you can expect from Incredible India. :)
