How To Make Sweet Lassi

Sweet Lassi Recipe. Indian home cooking expert Manju Malhi here shows how to make the milkshake of India. Made with cold yoghurt and flavoured here with sweet rose water. It is drunk mainly in northern India during the hot summer months. Rose water is a common ingredient in Indian desserts, and adds a sweet, perfumed aroma. Taste our Sweet Lassi recipe.


Step 1:

You will need

  • 1 green cardamom pod
  • 100 ml natural unsweetened yoghurt
  • 1 ½ tsp caster or demerara sugar
  • 1 tsp rose water
  • 200 ml cold water
  • 4 mint leaves
  • 1 blender
  • 2 tall glasses
  • 1 sharp knife

Step 2:

Cardamom

Use the back of a spoon to gently crush a green cardamom pod, until it splits. Remove the seeds with your fingers, and throw away the outer case.

Step 3:

Blend

Put the cardamom seeds into a mixing bowl or jug, along with 100ml of unsweetened natural yoghurt, 1 1/2 teaspoons of caster or demerara sugar, 1 teaspoon of rose water and 200ml of cold water. Use a hand blender to blend the mixture into a smooth paste.Pour into glasses. Garnish with a few mint leaves.

Serve

addition of mango pulp and deletion of mint and rosewater makes it taste better

the way i make lassi is just sugar, yogurt and loads of ice. The only way i dilute is by using the water from the ice.

i guess its aimed at the western market, whereas us traditional types would not have so much water in it! Lassi is supposed to be nice and thick and really refreshing but when the west thinks milkshake, they think of their local fast food chain. We think of lassi ;)

That was water with whatever.. never seen lassi in such a diluted form!!!! lassi is yogurt, a little water and sugar blend nicely.. no more no less.. and its tat nice creamy texture that gives lassi its rich taste..
