Lassi has been dawning upon my mind, since i posted a post on instagram few weeks back. I was writing about Amritsari breakfast in my post, and how a Sunday in Amritsar (My hometown in India) is incomplete without drowning in a glass of lassi in Punjab(India). And then all i wanted was , to have Lassi.

What is Lassi?

Authentic lassi , a powerful probiotic can be made sweet or savoury.

Traditionally sweet lassi is a blend of homemade curd/ yoghurt, milk, ice and sweetener (sugar).

It is topped with a dollop of Malai (homemade cream), or white homemade butter.

Lassi is traditionally made using a hand churner called madhani. Thanks to technology we have electrical churners now (our very on blenders). The task of blending is so very easier and quicker.

Why is Homemade Lassi is considered the healthiest drinks to be had in summers ?

• As the main ingredient in a traditional homemade lassi is yoghurt, this is a great probiotic
• Having a glass full of lassi in summers keeps the body temp low
• Having a glass of fresh lassi prevents heatstroke
• Homemade lassi made with fresh curd/ yoghurt is very very refreshing
• nothing can beat the taste of this chilled creamy refresher (and i would seriously not argue on this ).

Some tips to personalise your lassi-

1. Adding a little malai( homemade cream, or clotted cream), while blending lassi makes it more creamy. If you want to indulge, do add a little cream.
2. Traditionally lassi is a combination of yoghurt and milk, but if you want to make a lighter version, add water in place of milk, or use half water, half milk.
3. For sweetening you can use regular sugar, honey, maple syrup, or any sweetener you prefer.

If you drink lassi regularly, it is a great idea to personalise lassi adding different flavours using nuts, fruits and seeds.

I personally love creating versions of lassi using super healthy ingredients.
