Any resources of authoritative recipes? :) I was looking for the salty lassi, but Wikipedia didn't have the answer. Amazing!

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.)

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.
