Lhassi (Indian Yoghurt Drink)

Submitted by dale7793

"Scented yoghurt drink from India. Great served with curries. Very smooth and refreshing in a hot climate. It has a very cooling effect on the mouth. You can make mango lhassi by blending in mango pieces with the yogurt or try it with different fruits or spices."

Delicious and refreshing. I only made enough for one serving and was wishing I had made lots more, it was so tasty. I took the recipe poster's suggestion and added some fresh mango to mine and it was delicious. The rose water is the secret ingredient - it adds such a nice aroma and light taste.

I've been having this regularly for about a year now. I don't tire of it. I grind cardamom seeds in my mortar and pestle. Love the nutrition that comes from this amazing spice. Highly recommend. I was also introduced to rosewater in this recipe. Simple, delicious, refreshing.

I enjoyed the addition of the cinnamon and cardamon to what otherwise is my standard lassi recipe. It really is a very nice touch.

Not that there's anything wrong with the recipe but I'd never tried cardamom and I guess I'm not that fond of it. Gotta try something new though!

I usually love lhassis and this one was good. the only complaint I had was it was not sweet enough. I loved the aftertaste of cardamom though. Maybe its my american taste for sugar that makes it not so sweet going down or something else. Thank you though for this was my first "adventure" with an indian recipe though I have eaten at many indian restaurants:)
