    Very True TomEas. I too, just retured from jaipur and indulged in many Sweet Lassi, from LassiWalla with crusty sour curd on top...my gosh, there is nothing like it. I am attempting a version here with raw full fat cows milk with curd.. Will post results soon

    I just returned from Jaipur, India where they are renowned to have the best lassi in the world. It's true! This recipe isn't even close to theirs!! To make a true lassi you must include whole miik, preferably Buffalo milk, and milk curd. The curd is floated on top and gives a great texture. It is the key to true lassi. This lassi shown here is nothing more than a yogurt drink.

    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..
