Any resources of authoritative recipes? :) I was looking for the salty lassi, but Wikipedia didn't have the answer. Amazing!
- You don't really find recipes on Wikipedia. The correct place would be Wikibooks. And in fact, I've just dug out a Cookbook on Lassi there conveniently :) Mar4d (talk) 12:18, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Salty
- 0.25L (1 cup) Full-Fat Yogurt
- 0.25L (1 cup) Chilled milk
- 1 teaspoon (4g) Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon (2-4g) Salt
- 0.1L (1/2 cup) Ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon Mint (finely crumbled, dried; optional)
Dry-roast cumin seeds by cooking them over low heat in small pan until you can smell the seasoning, about 2 to 3 minutes. Cool and grind. In blender, blend cumin seed powder with yogurt, milk, lemon juice, salt and ice cubes. Optionally scatter with crumbled mint. Serve chilled.
Makes 4 servings.
Sweet
A source says:
Sweet Lassi:
- 1 c plain full-fat yogurt
- 1 c water
- 1 tsp rosewater
- dash lemon juice
- dash nutmeg
- pinch salt
- splenda to taste (maybe 1 tb)
(should be cross-checked to other recipes; to avoid quoting a source. it was on a bulleting board with no licence.)
- I wouldn't trust a recipe which mentions Splenda. It's not exactly traditional. Anyway, that'd be rose lassi, a kind of sweet lassi but not the only kind. Note that rosewater is sweet anyway. Jimp 19:11, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Measures
As far as I get the measures:
- 1 teaspoon = 4.8 grams
- 1 cup(liquid) = 0.24 Liters
Are they the same?
I don't know Indian lassi, but I think that the Turkish drink (I think the Turkish name is different, check at a döner kebap joint) is quite waterlike. Drinkin yoghourt (Dan'up brand by Danone) is thicker, like tomato sauce if that helps.
- You are quite right, but the Turkish one is quite bland e.g. no sugar or salt. But it is called Ayran. But is a much "duller" drink compared to the Indian Lassi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.246.86 (talk) 23:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Buffalo Yoghurt
I got the distinct impression when I was in India, 30 years ago, that genuine Lassis were made with buffalo milk yoghurt.--Richardb43 16:59, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- that's probably accurate, but buffalo milk tends to have a meaty smell, which a lot of people dislike. i would think normal cow's milk is use more frequently. i haven't drawn up stats yet, but i'm in the process... (yeah, right). but in all my years in india, and all my years of drinking lassi, i've been pretty sure that i was drinking cow's milk. i hav confined myself to the cities though... maybe it's buffalo milk in rural areas.
Muahahha
I moved this to Mango Lassi. Now remember, don't make any more comments on general lassi, only on mango. Cool and oh yeah, Ahung is the smartest guy on earth. AHUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For more information on this absolute genius, go to User:Ahung
Revert
Mango lassi is a type of lassi and is not the only type of lassi. Make a seperate page for mango lassi if you wish, but don't automatically redirect Lassi to Mango Lassi. Sctele 21:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Lassi - Indian? Pakistani?
There has been a change from "INdian" drink to "Pakistani" drink. Shouldnt this be made into a Punjabi drink? Since Punjab is also an ethnic region in both countries, this should be both correct and non-controversial. Am changing this back from Pakistani to Punjabi. Hope this is fine.

- I have seen Lassi 'bar's in bombay in the late 1970s. So are people sure it originated in the Northern India?.
- Also lots of South Indian Dosa places in London seem to sell Lassi. Actually, if you go to a Pak or North Indian restaurant it is not that common!. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.246.86 (talk) 23:51, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Cow urine?
I heard that they now put cow urine in it. is this true?
Cow Urine was never put in it to begin with, are you thinking of this?

Stop changing it from Indian/Pakistani to Pakistani/Indian
The correct way is Indian/Pakistani- "I" before "P" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.88.15.63 (talk) 01:25, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Punjabi
Noticed the recent tilt of the article towards regionalism (Punjab). Lassi is a common milk-based product hardly specific to any region in India (or broadly anywhere), Punjab is not where it "originated". What caught my attention was the mention that the word lassi has been borrowed from Punjabi into other Indian languages based on a passing mention in a cookbook, which is highly dubious, the word itself is of Prakrit origin from Sanskrit present in a multitude of local languages including Punjabi (but not exclusive to it) as clearly visible in Turner's comparative dict among numerous other lingual texts and literature.
The other mentions of Punjabi origin are similarly from passing-quotes from cookbooks. There is a reason we don't use cookbooks for relying on food history which is an entirely different field of its own (the unreliability highlighted by the errant etymology in the cookbook above). Another reason specific regions aren't mentioned for dish origins from India is because they are unlikely to be exclusive to any particular one and likely originated correspondingly, most of them fall-prey to regional one-upmanship of claimant titles. I have reverted these edits for these reasons. Gotitbro (talk) 22:43, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
