You know this might sound really weird to you and/or whoever reads this review, but when I took the first sip of this, I felt like I was sailing on the Titanic and really enjoying myself! Haha! Today is a very auspicious day for us. It's what we call 'Shani Jayanti'(its the day of the God of the planet Saturn!) and I was fasting all day. I broke my fast with a glass of this drink at 6pm and I feel so refreshed, gosh, I feel like a queen! What a beautiful drink this is!! I did use only milk(and not yogurt)as I am trying of late not to mix the two together. You know, what I loved best about this is adding 'rose water' in this recipe. I don't remember doing this ever. But, in this drink, what I REALLY LOVED is the individual taste of the rose water. The sliced and toasted almonds also made this really presentable and even more appealing! I can't thank you enough for a really refreshing drink! Thank you sooooooo much. I'll be making this again and again and again until the market runs out of mangoes!

A rich and satisfying drink to either finish a meal or begin the day. I used non-fat yogurt and low-fat milk because that is what I had. To offset that, I let the yogurt sit in a strainer for 20 minutes before mixing the drink. Choose mango this time and will try banana soon. I initially made it without the rosewater then added it in, just to see the difference. The small addition of one ingredient truly transformed the lassi and makes it well worth finding some. Just wasn't the same without it.

Absolutely delicious! I halved the recipe and used half a bannana and about 1 cup frozen peaches. instead of the milk i used light coconut milk, this made it very delicious and exotic tasting, especially with the rose water and cardamon. It was not too sweet, which I really enjoyed. Very healthy and refreshing!

I just love this drink! Instead of ice cubes I used frozen fruit(strawberry`s and melons) I did make it with a fresh mango. I skipped the milk and used just yogurt and water.

This really IS refreshing. It doesn't have the sweetness of many summer drinks and just does a great job of clearing the palate. I think my bananas probably needed to be a bit more ripe...and I regret that I didn't have any rose water after readinc Charisma's review. I would have liked to try it that way.

Delicious! I didn't have Cardamoms and forgot to add in the Rose Water but it is a keeper! The next time I make this, I'll use the orange fleshed mangoes and not the yellow fleshed ones. Mmmm.... I can taste it now! Thanks for posting this!

Although it wasn't the flavor I was expecting, it was refreshing. We found out it was not sweet enough, so we put a little sugar in. In the end the flavor of the rose water was a little on the strong side. This is still a good recipe, but not your usual lassi.

Tastes just like the ones we had in the local Indian restaurant. Delicious and refreshing!
