Learn how to make Rose Lassi, that can be sipped on a lazy and busy summer afternoon. Here is the recipe of Rose Lassi.
What is Rose Lassi?
Rose Lassi is a refreshing combination of yogurt and rose syrup. For this simple divine Rose Lassi Recipe, I use the popular syrup called Rooh Afza that gives it a rather unique taste.
You could use any brand of Rose Syrup, but the most popular one in the market is Rooh Afza, it also gives the sweet lassi a beautiful hue of pink.
You can also make rose lassi by adding gulkand to it. Gulkand is a jam made using fresh rose petals. It gives a very unique taste to the lassi.
I have not added any additional colour to the recipe to enhance its appearance.
How to make Rose Lassi?
To make this heady, rosy sweet drink, add a cup of fresh curd with chilled milk in a blender and mix till smooth.
Then add in the luscious rose syrup and if required add some sugar, ensure you account for the sugar in the Rooh Afza as well, then mix in the ice cubes and blend it into the lassi well.
You can add some gulkand or rose jam while blending the lassi to give it a even more rosy flavour.
Pour this delicious rosy pink concoction into a beautiful serving glass and top it with some chopped almonds and pistachios for a nice crunch.
You could also top this sweet rose lassi with some fresh or dried rose petals; this adds a love flavour to the whole drink and makes it simply irresistible.
If you want to make a thick version of lassi, avoid whisking it in a blender. Use a hand held whisk instead.
What to serve with Rose Lassi?
Serve Rose Lassi on its own for your breakfast or a snack or serve it on the side with your festive meals or meals that you are preparing for special occasions.
You can also serve it to your guests with some pre-made snacks such as Masala Mathri, Methi Mathri, Spicy Masala Kaju and Makhana Namkeen.
Tips to make best Rose Lassi
Use thick full fat yogurt to make this lassi. The yogurt should not be sour.
Homemade yogurt is the best.
If you like very thick lassi, then instead of blending everything in a blender, use a wire whisk to make the lassi.
Adding Gulkand in Lassi? Then reduce the amount of sugar as gulkand has lot’s of sugar in it already.
If you are a diabetic, then add sugar free instead of sugar in lassi.

According to ayurveda milk and curd should not be consumed together
Neha Mathur
Ok. But I really don’t follow Ayurveda. Milk and Curd has been a part of smoothies since ages and all is well till now I guess 🙂
