Step by step instructions of how to make Sweet Lassi
Published:By Sailaja Angara
Lassi or sweet lassi is a popular yogurt based drink from Punjab Cuisine. The most all time favorite beverage during my childhood days.
Whenever we go to our native place Nellore during summer holidays, going to a small restaurant and having sweet lassi is a big feast to us. Do not remember the name of the restaurant, but still remember the simple and rich creamy taste of it. It was served in tall glasses topped with thick cream. I like that creamy layer of it and used to have it slowly with a spoon.
Lassi is made in three different varieties -- sweet, salt and masala. Sweet lassi is a bit heavy and we can skip one meal for that. Sweet lassi topped with dry fruits is more tasty.
The traditional way of making it is churning in an earthen pot with sugar and cardamom powder. At least the one which I have seen in my childhood days was like that only.
Though not in earthen pot I normally prefer to make simple sweet lassi. During summer I make lassi once in a week. My kids does not like the creamy layer on top of it, so I have to skip that. But I mix it with the yogurt itself, so the taste of it does not change.
