5-Minute Mint Refresher ( Pudina Lassi) 🍃🍃 | IndianAuthentic #SummerSpecial
Pudina Lassi (Mint Refresher)
A cooling 5-minute mint yogurt drink
A traditional Indian mint refresher that comes together in 5 minutes. Creamy yogurt is blended with fresh pudina (mint), a hint of roasted cumin and salt, then whizzed with ice for a smooth, frothy, digestive drink. Cooling, savoury and incredibly refreshing on a hot day.
Ingredients
Main
- 1 cup plain yogurt (curd/dahi), chilled
- ½ cup cold water or ice cubes
- ½ cup fresh mint (pudina) leaves
- ½ tsp roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera)
- ¼ tsp black salt (kala namak) or regular salt, to taste
- 1 small green chilli (optional, for a mild kick)
- Mint sprig and a pinch of cumin, to garnish
Instructions
- Blend. Add the yogurt, water/ice, mint leaves, roasted cumin, salt and green chilli (if using) to a blender.
- Whizz until frothy. Blend for 30-40 seconds until smooth, pale green and frothy.
- Taste & adjust. Check the seasoning — add more salt or a little water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve. Pour into glasses, garnish with a mint sprig and a pinch of roasted cumin, and serve chilled.
Pro tip: For a sweet version, skip the cumin, salt and chilli and blend with sugar or honey instead. Always use chilled yogurt and ice so you don't need to refrigerate before serving.
