Grilled Pineapple Golden Lassi

by Anna Mariani Leave a Comment

Lassi

The renaissance Indian food is having in San Francisco has inspired me to explore the enticing flavors of Indian cuisine. Lassi is a traditional yogurt or buttermilk based beverage that can be sweet or savory. Turmeric is an essential ingredient throughout India. I re-interpreted these two elements in a refreshing drink that is taste-bud-tickling delicious and healthy. Grilling your pineapple naturally deepens its flavor and adds a layer of caramelized goodness. Feel free to adjust the consistency of your lassi to taste by adding more or less water.

Ingredients
  • For the grilled pineapple:
  • 1 whole medium ripe pineapple
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Freshly grated nutmeg
  • For the lassi:
  • 1 cup grilled pineapple
  • 1 ripe Ataulfo mango (approx. ½ cup diced mango)
  • ½ cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 heaping teaspoon Numi Turmeric Chai or Turmeric Cocoa Golden Latte Mix™
Instructions
  1. Prepare the pineapple. Remove the peel, cut in quarters lengthwise and remove the woody core. Cut each quarter in small chunks. In a bowl, sprinkle pineapple chunks with cinnamon and nutmeg, add maple syrup, cover and let macerate in the fridge for at least 1 hour. The seasonings will make a ripe pineapple even juicier!
  2. Assemble pineapple chunks on skewers and grill until golden and beautifully caramelized on a preheated griddle pan or barbecue grill. Let cool before using.
  3. Blend all ingredients together. Use Turmeric Cocoa for a sweeter, richer taste. Use Turmeric Chai for a brighter, spicier lassi with a pleasantly tart note.
  4. Serve immediately over ice (if desired). Grate some nutmeg on top and garnish with a chunk of grilled pineapple on a small skewer. Enjoy!

🌱 Why do grades of tea matter? The larger the leaf, the greater its surface area for steeping and the more complex the infusion. Numi uses only hand-plucked, fuller leaf quality tea for a pure taste that balances depth and nuance. Many bagged teas are machine-picked and use low-quality fannings and dust. Smaller grades release tannins more quickly, leading to a dark, bitter-tasting cup. Wake up with fuller leaf teas that steep slowly and evenly, delivering a smooth, rich flavor. When you drink our tea, you’ll immediately taste the difference. ☕️ Find our Breakfast Blend and over 40 delicious organic blends on our Amazon store. Link in bio.
