Sweet Lassi and salty Lassi/ Indian traditional Summer refreshing, digestable recipe!
Sweet Lassi & Salted Lassi
Classic Punjabi yogurt drinks — sweet and namkeen
Punjabi lassi — thick yogurt blended with water into sweet (sugar) or salted (salt, cumin) versions. A cooling summer staple and festive meal companion.
Ingredients
Base
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup cold water
- Ice cubes (optional)
Sweet Lassi
- 1–2 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of cardamom (optional)
Salted Lassi
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
- Pinch of black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Blend. Blend yogurt and water until frothy. Sweeten or salt to taste in separate glasses.
