Dry fruits lassi using Alvas Natural curd

Recipe of how to make Dry fruits sweet lassi with step by step pictures and video

Lassi is a very popular, traditional yogurt based drink in India. I have already posted Rose lassi, kesar lassi and few more yogurt based Indian drink recipes. For this recipe i used Alvas yogurt (available in Singapore only) and it turned out so tasty and creamy. The Dry fruits lassi was loved by everyone at home and it was quite filling too. Sometimes during summer, we don't tend to feel like standing in the kitchen for a long time but need something chill and filling for the tummy. This dry fruits lassi can be made on such days even for breakfast too. 

For my Readers in Singapore, though we get lot of yogurt in Singapore, the reason why I choose

Alvas curd is :

-Freshly made daily in Singapore.

-Made from Fresh New Zealand Cow’s milk and not buffalo

milk(toned milk) 

-Naturally rich, thick and creamy without any chemicals,thickeners

Places to purchase Alvas Natural Curd:
-Mustafa Centre
-Sheng Siong Supermarkets and Prime super markets.
-Most Indian Grocery stores( including Sri Murugan stores)

Popular Indian Yogurt drink,with the addition of dry fruits.

    Dry fruits*   1/4 cup

     Milk   1/4  cup
     Sugar  to taste
     Rose water   1/4 tsp
     Water 1/2 cup
*I used Almonds,cashew nuts,walnuts,pistachios and dates. You can add raisins and other nuts of your choice.

Method:

• Soak the dry fruits in very hot water for 10 minutes.
• Take out the skin from almonds and pistachios.
• Add the yogurt, milk,sugar and the dry fruits in a blender. 
• Blend well till it becomes smooth.
• Add water to adjust the consistency.
• You can keep this inside the refrigerator and serve later, but lassi gets more thicker if it is served later. So add water to adjust the right consistency or add ice cubes.
• This lassi is quite filling and it tasted so delicious too.

Notes:

1. You can add a pinch of cardamom powder,in that case skip the rose water.
2. More dates and raisins can be added,so that you can skip the sugar.
3. If using home made yogurt,always use thick curd. Else hung for sometime to get a creamy consistency.
4. Ensure the curd is not too sour for making this dry fruits lassi.
