Mango lassi is a very famous drink in India made with yogurt and mango.

Mangoes originated in East India, Burma and the Andaman Islands bordering the Bay of Bengal. Around the 5th century B.C., Mango is called Mangifera indica and is known as 'king of fruit' throughout the world.The Mango tree plays a sacred role in India; it is a symbol of love and some believe that the Mango tree can grant wishes. In India, Mangoes are found in plenty during the summer season.

We had potluck last week and I prepared my all time favourite vegetarian starter. It is 'Venkaya Pakora' (Onion Pakora). Its crispy, yummy and very very easy to prepare. Most of us know this starter as this is considered to be one of the basic dish in India. However i am sharing the recipe for those who have not yet tried this scrumptious dish.
