    What is lassi

    Lassi is a cooling and refreshing yogurt-based age-old summer drink originated in the Punjab region of India.

    Traditionally lassi is made with fresh homemade curd and sugar by churning with a wooden hand blender or 'Madani'. Then served in earthen pots or tall brassware glasses.

    There are many flavors and variations of lassi available. To enhance the flavor, additional flavors like cardamom powder, saffron, and rose syrup are also added. But this classic one has its own charm.

    Health Benefits of Lassi

    Few amazing health benefits of drinking lassi. Such as:

    • Lassi aids digestion.
    • Prevents stomach problems like bloating.
    • It is a good source of probiotics.
    • Improves Bone Health
    • Boosts immunity
    • Helps in weight loss
    • Maintain youthful skin

    To make this classic Indian lassi recipe you need only 4 ingredients, yogurt, milk, sugar, and ice cubes. You can also use chilled water instead of milk. If you want a thin lassi just add more milk or water. The addition of malai is optional but it makes the drink even more drool-worthy. I love to keep it light. Hence I have not used malai.

    • 1 cup chilled yogurt
    • ½ cup chilled milk or water
    • 4-6 ice cubes
    • 4 tablespoon sugar
    • malai as required optional

    Instructions

    • Beat the yogurt in a bowl until smooth. 
    • Crush the ice cubes in a blender. 
    • In the same blending jar, add yogurt, milk, and sugar together. Then blend for 2 minutes or until the mixture becomes frothy. 
    • If you are using the wooden homemade blender, churn all the ingredients together except malai until you see a frothy layer on top.
    • Plain sweet lassi is ready to serve. Pour lassi into the serving glass from a height to create foams.

    Notes

    To get the foamy and frothy texture blend the lassi for 2 minutes and pour the lassi into the serving glass from a height.

      Oh my, I love lassi's but I am now vegan. I was wondering how the recipe would be using nut milk, like cashew milk or almond milk. I also wonder, to make it a mango lassi, how would I insert the mango? Does it need to be blended first?
