Papaya Lassi recipe – a delicious and refreshing yogurt-based drink using papaya. Sweet lassi is a very popular Indian drink. This lassi recipe is a healthy variation with papaya fruit.
I am not too fond of papaya but really enjoy it when hidden in the form of papaya halwa – a delicious sweet.
Papaya is a rich source of vitamin C and is also a good source of vitamin A and dietary fiber. With all the nutrients present in this tropical fruit, it is good to include it in our diet.
With hot summer days, there is nothing more refreshing than a tall chilled glass of lassi. After mango oats lassi that I recently posted, I tried this lassi.
I added ripe papaya chunks to yogurt along with a hint of cardamom. The result is this delicious lassi that I am sure even papaya haters will love.
Serve this sweet lassi at the end of a spicy meal as a dessert or as a refreshing snack.
