Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups chilled plain whole milk yogurt or Greek yogurt
- ½ cup chilled whole milk (full-fat milk) or chilled water
- 4 tablespoons rose syrup I used Rooh Afza
- ¼ cup gulkand (rose jam)
- 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar or to taste
- 5-6 ice cubes
- slivered pistachios for garnishing
- dried rose petals for garnishing
Instructions
- Whisk yogurt in a bowl until creamy and smooth using a wire whisk.
- Add milk and mix well.
- Add rose syrup, gulkand, sugar, and ice cubes and whisk until everything comes together.
- If the lassi is thick for your liking, thin it down using more milk or water.
- Check for sugar and add more if needed.
- Pour the lassi into 2 serving glasses. Garnish with pistachio slivers and dried rose petals and serve chilled.
Notes
The quality of yogurt makes or breaks the lassi. Homemade yogurt sometimes turns sour making the lassi tangy. Make sure the yogurt is fresh to make the best lassi.
Some people do not mix yogurt with milk. In that case, you can replace milk with chilled water.
Never blend the ingredients to make lassi in a blender. The yogurt becomes very thin and the texture is not thick and creamy. Always use a wire whisk or a madani (wooden churner).
