❤️About This Recipe
Summer season drink: Salted lassi is so cooling and refreshing to your body and it helps you protect from sunstroke.
Healthy drink: It is a better choice than carbonated or sugar-loaded beverages. It also helps in easy digestion.
Traditionally, it is made by hand churning using a wooden whisk (madani) as shown in the stepwise pics. But you can use a regular blender or immersion blender.
Salted lassi vs Plain Chaas:
- The ingredients are almost the same.
- But water quantity is different. You’ll need more water while making chaas than salted lassi.
- Chaas has a thinner consistency than lassi.
🧾Ingredient Notes
- Yogurt: Highly recommend using full-fat yogurt to get a rich, thick and creamy texture. But considering fat intake, you can use low-fat or fat-free yogurt.
- Black salt (kala namak): It adds a nice zing and flavor to the drink.
- Roasted cumin powder: here’s how to make it at home - Dry roast the cumin seeds on medium-low heat with stirring constantly until aromatic and dark in color. Once cools down grind into a powder using a spice grinder (or mortar and pestle if making a small quantity). You can keep this in the air-tight container for up to 2-3 months.
