Come Party With Me: Indian Dinner — Dessert

A lassi is a traditional Indian milk shake made with yogurt instead of milk.

A lassi is a traditional Indian milk shake made with yogurt instead of milk. While many variations are savory, for my Indian-inspired dinner party, I'll be whipping up a mango lassi. There's no sugar, but honey provides a subtle sweetness to the creamy drink, while lime juice adds a refreshing tartness. For those guests who have an extreme sweet tooth, consider purchasing a couple flavored chocolate bars. Vosges Naga Exotic Candy Bar is inspired by the tribes of Northeast India. The bar is a mixture of deep milk chocolate, sweet Indian curry, and coconut. It makes a deliciously easy finish to the rich meal. To check out the mango lassi recipe, read more

A Twisted Cover of "Milkshake"

I bet this isn't the "yard" Kelis was thinking of when writing "My milkshake/Brings all the boys to the yard..." (For another great cover, there's always the Carl's Junior ad.)
