Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a sweeter lassi, add a tablespoon or two of honey or sugar to taste.
- If you don't have black salt (kala namak), you can omit it or substitute with a pinch of regular salt and a squeeze of lemon juice for a similar tang.
- Experiment with other herbs! Cilantro or a mix of mint and cilantro can create unique flavor profiles.
- For a thicker lassi, use full-fat yogurt and reduce the amount of water. For a thinner lassi, use a lower-fat yogurt and add more water.
