Strawberry lassi (Indian)

I love cardamom-laced drinks and desserts and anything. I love it in Indian, German, Scottish, Belgian, Turkish or Romanian traditions.
And, as you may have notices, I like making lassi, especially in the summer, for its naturally cooling effect and the lovely taste. Thus, strawberry lassi was just a step away (For what can scream summer better than strawberries? Well, maybe peaches, but that's a different story). What makes it different from your average strawberry-yogurt smoothie is, again, the magic touch of cardamom that gives it its distinct Indian taste.
Enjoy.
