Sorry, I only know how to make Mango Lassi - I love it!
If you search Google for "Lassi" you will be able to find many different recipes for plain Lassi.
a lot of yogurt, milk, salt/ sugar. into a blender with that add a little ice if you want it cool and with that crunch it gives, then blend it.
you could also add some fruit to that - usually mangoes the best.
the yogurt has to be a loose, the bitter kind and full fat.
mangoes, get the big Indian / Pakistani ones. id advise you to buy pure mango pulp from a tin its better and works well for lassi. you can get that from most super stores.
What kind of sick individual would put Lassie into a blender ?
Such a lovely dog, and intelligent with it !
Shame on you cruel people !!!!!
Well in the uk, I find the packaged lasis a bit too salty. So you should take have a bottle of it and add half abottle of water, mix it all together in a jug and serve! Add more salt to your taste!
Or you can get pain yougurt and whisk it with a fork till it become total liqauid and just follow the instructions on top!
Enjoy
Blue gave a pretty good answer. Fruit is not absolutely necessary, but can be added if that's what you want. Some crushed nuts on the top helps. But these are all dressing. It's basically plain yoghurt, milk, sugar and ice, with just the merest hint of rose water. (more than just a drop and the lassi will be bitter) Salt is good too, but not for me!
Lovely jubbly! Great summer drink!

Salty Lassi
This Salty Lassi is spiced with cumin and is a great refreshing drink in the summer.

Mango Lassi

Dry Roasting : This term is used to describe the process of heating spices on medium high heat in a shallow frying pan without any oil. This dry sautéing is done until the natural oils in the spices start emitting their natural aroma and the spice is lightly toasted. Individual spices are lightly toasted this way before they are ground so as to extract the maximum flavor from the spice.
This process works very well to rejuvenate the old spices sitting in your cupboards. Dry roasting them will bring out their flavors.
