Sweet Lassi Recipe

Sweet lassi with plain yoghurt and sugar as main ingredients. Add rose water for a pleasant taste. Also add Malai if you want it rich and tasty.

Here’s a classic sweet lassi recipe that is easy to make and refreshing to drink:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups plain yogurt (chilled)
• 1/2 cup cold water or milk
• 4 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Chopped nuts (e.g., pistachios or almonds) for garnish (optional)
• A few saffron strands for garnish (optional)
• Rose water (a few drops, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Yogurt Base:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled yogurt and cold water or milk. Whisk them together until smooth and creamy. You can also use a blender for a smoother consistency.
2. Sweeten the Lassi:
   • Add the sugar to the yogurt mixture and whisk or blend until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
3. Add Flavor:
   • If using, add the cardamom powder and mix well. Cardamom adds a fragrant and slightly spicy note that complements the sweetness.
4. Blend Until Frothy:
   • If you prefer a frothy lassi, blend the mixture on high speed for a minute. This step is optional but gives the lassi a light, airy texture.
5. Serve Chilled:
   • Pour the lassi into glasses. If desired, add a few ice cubes to each glass to keep the lassi chilled.
6. Garnish:
   • Garnish with chopped nuts and a few saffron strands for a touch of elegance and extra flavor. A few drops of rose water can also be added for a delicate floral note.

Tips:

• For a richer lassi, use full-fat yogurt.
• You can adjust the thickness by varying the amount of water or milk.
• For a fruit-flavored twist, blend in some fresh fruit like mango or strawberry.

Enjoy your refreshing and delicious sweet lassi!
