Sweet Lassi

Sweet Lassi
 

Sweet Lassi is a creamy, sweetened yogurt-based ice cream from Punjabi cuisine and is a popular drink in northern India. It is usually consumed after meals or as a refreshing drink on hot summer afternoons. Nowadays, there are many types of lassi like strawberry lassi, rose lassi, mango lassi, original lassi etc. but there are two types, sweet and salted. In this recipe, we make sweet lassi - first we blend the curd until it becomes smooth, then we add sugar and cardamom to the curd for a nice taste. Finally, if necessary, you can dilute it a little by adding water or milk.

Curd is the main ingredient of lassi, so the entire taste depends on it. Use homemade curd made from full fat milk and make sure it does not taste sour to make the perfect milkshake. Follow the step by step recipe and pictures below to make this drink at home and do not forget to read the instructions before making it.
