Instructions

Prepare the Cashew Paste

Soak the cashews in warm water for at least 30 minutes. Drain and blend into a smooth paste.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Avadhi Lassi

For a thicker lassi, use full-fat yogurt and reduce the amount of liquid (if using saffron-infused milk).
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your preference. You can also use honey or other sweeteners.
For a richer flavor, use homemade rabri. You can easily find many recipes online.
Chill the ingredients before blending for an extra refreshing lassi. Serve immediately for optimal creaminess.
