This is one of my quickie breakfast drink nowadays ,our great Indian Lassi which I call it an Indian smoothie as well ,made up of yogurt,spices,water ,fruits and little milk.It is so versatile,healthy and quick to make that "Lassi jaisi koi nahi ";P. It makes my day ,in a healthy way.....I tried making it with a healthy dose of Jamuns ....Jamuns also known as Black plum/Java Plum/Jambul orr Syzygium cumini :O
I love them (but not that cumini name though..ask my tongue..well wait..it's so twisted now:|) ...Not only because of the health benefits it has but also of the purple color effect it has....since childhood days I love it when my tongues would turn purple ...a fun part of childhood days when all this was nothing less than a magic :) ......Did you know that each and every part of Jamun trees are loaded with health benefits and it's quite popular for it's exceptional role in treating diabetics and more ..........
So,this is an exclusive diabetic friendly lassi with the goodness of jamuns and yogurts...it is refreshing,enriching and rejuvenating ......Trust me iss Jamun lassi jasi koi nahi 8) :D....
