HOW TO MAKE LASSI RECIPE
- Take yogurt in a large bowl and whisk it well with a hand blender or 'madani' till it becomes smooth.
- Make sure no lumps remain in the yogurt.
- Add sugar (as per taste) in the bowl and mix it again.
- Add a little quantity of chilled water at this stage to balance out the consistency.
- Mix all the ingredients very well until the mixture becomes smooth.
- Pour the mixture in glasses of your choice. Garnish the Lassi with some dry fruits or nuts. Lassi is ready to be served.
Notes
- Use good quality thick creamy yogurt or curd to make the Lassi.
- You can use powdered sugar in this recipe. Powdered sugar will take less time and effort to mix well with the Lassi mixture.
- I have used hand blender here to mix all the ingredients. You can prepare the same in Mixture Grinder/ Blender machine also. In that case just add all the ingredients in the blender one at a time along with the ice cubes. Blend it properly.
- Several variations can be added to this recipe. You can add whatever flavor you like such as cardamom powder/saffron strands/rose water to this recipe.
- The lassi can be stored in the refrigerator also for 1-2 days. In that case skip adding ice cubes to it while preparing.
- Serve the Lassi chilled to enjoy its refreshing goodness.
