Slowly glug down something smooth and sensual and get your taste buds exploding in pure ecstasy. And, simper.
This dish will smash your belief that vegan food can’t be easy to make.
Make this:

- When you’ve got a hot curry on the go and want something to cool you down as you bite into that third chilli
- When you want an uplifting avo pick-me up as you wade through your admin
Pistachio and Mulberry Lassi was inspired when sipping cool refreshing lassi while lounging in roadside cafes in Karachi, yapping with family.
Lassi is a popular, refreshing Punjabi yogurt milkshake. It has a creamy texture and sweet-sour taste to it. Its origins are thought to be Mesopotamia over 5,0000 BC as sustenance of the Gods. Originally, milk was fermented in clay crocks mixed with curd and sugar.
Pistachio and Mulberry Lassi is vegan.
