Sweet Lassi | Indian Yogurt Drink

Last updated May 10, 2016. Originally posted May 10, 2016 By Jyothi Rajesh 6 Comments

Chilled thick yogurt based refreshing summer drink made the traditional way by hand churning.

Sweet Lassi

Some dishes don’t require any introduction or a recipe and lassi is one such dish. This yogurt based drink can be sweet, or can be savory depending on your mood. It’s thick, creamy and very refreshing. What this drink guarantees is “it will quench your thirst and refresh you during the hot summer days”.

A drink that originated in Punjab is best enjoyed when served chilled on a hot summer day. Lassis are intended to calm taste buds during a spicy meal. The basic 2 variations of lassis are ‘salt lassi’ which is a savory version and ‘sweet lassi’ which is mostly made by adding sugar/honey or fruits.

Sweet Lassi

But now there are a zillion varieties of lassi recipes. Some are made by adding fruits in it called fruit lassi, some are mixed with chocolate for chocolate lassi. In North India, some shops specialize in lassis and they sell varieties of lassis. The best part of these shops is that they serve chilled lassi topped with malai(or cream) on top and it is served in earthen pots. Those are the best lassi one would ever taste.

Today I’m presenting to you the simplest lassi, sweet lassi made the traditional way, by hand churning. Thick yogurt is churned with the wooden churner until frothy. Then it is flavored by adding sugar, cardamom powder and a dash of rose water. Churn again until frothy and serve chilled. The best summer drink one can have, with the goodness of yogurt.

My food philosophy is simple, fresh and full of flavors! I love ‘spicy’ food. In fact so much so that I can skip dessert for extra spicy savory food!
