Lassi Base

Garnish (optional)

Method

Lassi Base

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients

    Measure yogurt, milk, and sugar. If using granulated sugar and you prefer a smoother texture, dissolve sugar in 1–2 tablespoons of the milk before blending.

  2. 2

    Place the yogurt, cold milk, dissolved or granulated sugar, cardamom powder, rose water, and a pinch of salt in a blender. The salt brightens flavor; include even if optional.

  3. 3

    Add the ice cubes to the blender. If you prefer a creamier, less diluted lassi, reduce ice or use chilled milk and yogurt without ice.

  4. 4

    Blend on high speed for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is frothy and smooth. Pause and scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary, then blend another 10–15 seconds to ensure even texture.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust sweetness, cardamom, or rose water. Add up to 1 tablespoon more sugar or 1/2 tsp more rose water if needed, then briefly re-blend (10 seconds).

Garnish (optional)

  1. 6

    Pour the lassi into chilled glasses, leaving a small gap at the top for garnish.

  2. 7

    Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the top and add a few saffron strands. If desired, mist an extra 1/4–1/2 tsp rose water over each glass for a more floral aroma.

  3. 8

    Serve immediately while frothy and cold.
