How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Combine the yogurt, chilled water, roasted cumin powder, black salt

    In a blender or a deep mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, chilled water, roasted cumin powder, black salt, and regular salt.

  2. Blend on medium speed

    Blend on medium speed for about 20-30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and frothy. Alternatively, use a traditional wooden whisk (mathani) to churn the lassi manually.

  3. Place ice cubes in two serving glasses

    Place ice cubes in two serving glasses. Pour the frothy lassi over the ice.

  4. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a tiny pinch of roasted cumin powder

    Garnish with fresh mint leaves and a tiny pinch of roasted cumin powder on top. Serve immediately.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the best flavor, use fresh, chilled yogurt. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more water. Roasting your own cumin seeds and grinding them fresh significantly enhances the aroma.
