Plain sweet lassi – A 4-ingredient basic iconic lassi recipe. Which is light, delicious, and ridiculously simple-to-make. Nothing like a chilled glass of frothy sweet lassi to cool down a hot summer day.

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.

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?
