Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This is a delicious year-round drink often served in good Indian restaurants. The smoothie seems to be giving the lassi a bit of a run for its money these days. You'd be amazed how people turn their noses up at a lassi in a restaurant, but wouldn't think twice about ordering a smoothie. The better the mangoes the better the lassi will be, and at this time of the year I recommend fragrant little Alfonsos. The yoghurt is important too: the creamier the better. If your blender isn't very powerful, you may want to pre-crush your ice cubes in an ice crusher or in a bag with a rolling pin.
