The original savory lassi — yoghurt thinned with cold water and seasoned with roasted cumin seeds, salt, and mint. This is the traditional North Indian version, served cold alongside meals to cool the palate. The cumin is key: lightly toasted, it adds an earthy, smoky depth.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
- 1 1/4 cups cold water
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp finely crumbled mint
Instructions
- Blend in a blender for 3 seconds.
- Serve cold.
- Lassi is a south indian drink, and one of the easiest things to make.
- There are many ways of making it, but essentially it is buttermilk (yoghurt whisked with water), and you can choose almost any consistency that you like, from the thinnest to the thickest.
