Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Lassi

For a sweeter lassi, add a teaspoon or two of honey or sugar to taste.
Adjust the amount of water to achieve your preferred consistency – some prefer it thicker, while others prefer it thinner.
If you don't have rock salt, regular salt will work just fine.
For a richer flavor, use full-fat yogurt and let it come to room temperature before blending.
