How to make it
4 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Place the chilled yogurt, sugar, and cardamom powder
Place the chilled yogurt, sugar, and cardamom powder into a blender or a deep mixing bowl.
Add the chilled water or milk
Add the chilled water or milk to adjust the consistency. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds or whisk vigorously until the sugar is fully dissolved and a frothy layer forms on top.
Add ice cubes and blend
Add ice cubes and blend for another 5-10 seconds just to chill the mixture further without completely crushing the ice.
Pour the lassi into tall glasses, ensuring the froth is distributed equally
Pour the lassi into tall glasses, ensuring the froth is distributed equally. Garnish with slivered pistachios and serve immediately.
A little kitchen wisdom
For the most authentic texture, use a traditional wooden whisk (mathani) instead of a blender. Using chilled ingredients ensures the drink is refreshing without needing too much ice, which can dilute the flavor.
