How to prepare Chocolate Lasi?

Take a cup of thick yogurt/curd in a bowl (Store bought or homemade).

Sweet lasi curd

Whisk the curd using a hand whisk or electric whisk/beater or you can also use a blender/mixer. Whisk until NO lumps. When I use a blender, I just put it on pulse mode once or twice, not more.

After breaking the lumps, add honey or powdered sugar for sweetness. Adjust the quantity according to your preference. If you have a sweet tooth, you may add some more. I prefer just a medium level of sweet. Substituting honey for sugar is a healthier option.

Now add a little crushed or powdered cardamom for some extra fragrance. Its completely optional. Combine well.
