Lassi #2
Ingredients List
- 3/4 c Buttermilk
- 1/4 c Crushed ice
Directions
There is actually a much easier (and lazier) method for making lassi.
Add 3/4 cup buttermilk to 1/4 cup crushed ice. Shake it up (this is the
fun part!). As any Indian can tell you, lassi can be made either sweet or
sour, depending on your taste. If you want it sweet, add sugar until it's
sweet enough. If you want it sour, add salt to your taste. Mint is
optional. Shake it up again (more fun!).
An interesting variation i've had is mango lassi. This basically involves
adding some very ripe, juicy mango to the buttermilk and putting it through
the blender. Add sugar, cardomom if you want.
The main problem i've had with making lassi in the states is that the
buttermilk is too thick. Indian lassi is water thin and i really miss
that. i've compensated by adding water or ice to dilute it.
