Preparation
Lassis are part of the Indian influence on Sri Lankan cuisine. My mother used to add three or four pieces of fresh mango to a lassi. She would make us lassis in the morning before we went to school, or when fresh mangoes or bananas were in abundance. Like most Sri Lankans, mum used buffalo curd instead of yoghurt.
Blend ingredients and serve in a tall glass.
Variations
To make a sweet lassi, replace the mango with 1 tablespoon sugar. For a savoury lassi use a pinch of salt.
Low-fat milk and yoghurt can be used as an alternative to full-cream
varieties.
You can substitute strawberries or raspberries for mango.

Hot Tips
How to cook beetroot
To minimise bleeding during cooking do not peel the beetroot (the skin holds the colour) and leave a portion of the stem in place. Boil in salted water or bake in the oven wrapped in foil at 180°C.
