1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup chilled water
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust according to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
Crushed ice cubes (optional)
Chopped fruits or saffron strands for garnish (optional)
In a blender, add the plain yogurt, chilled water, sugar, and cardamom powder.
Blend the ingredients together until you get a smooth and frothy mixture. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little more water.
Taste the lassi and adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more sugar if desired.
If you want a chilled lassi, you can add a few crushed ice cubes to the blender and blend again until they are well incorporated.
Pour the lassi into serving glasses.
Optionally, garnish the lassi with chopped fruits like mango, strawberries, or pistachios. You can also add a few saffron strands on top for an extra touch.
Serve the lassi immediately and enjoy its refreshing taste.
Lassi can be customized in many ways by adding different fruits like mango, banana, or berries, or by incorporating flavors like rosewater or mint. Feel free to experiment with various combinations to find your favorite lassi recipe.
