Lassi is a creamy, quenching drink made by blending thick curd / yogurt with sugar & flavours. Sweet Lassi is a nature’s gift to mankind for summer in cooling the body & soul. Sweet Lassi Recipe is presented in this post with step by step pictures.
Lassi is one of the drinks I relish not only in summer but always. It is so much satisfying to end a mild lunch with a tall mug of lassi that is cardamom flavoured. I love the plain version that is served in local lassi shops than the punjabi version which is more of rose flavour.
There are even salty versions of lassi too but I prefer the sweet version more. Lassi is very heavy and thick which is served in shops, I made it on the lighter side by adding water and reducing malai. You can check the kesar lassi which I posted last year.

Variations
- You can add water instead of milk.
- Add saffron for extra flavour

Hi sharmi I am big fan for u.ur comments ,photos every thing is very good. I ask something I am Devi now I live in Europe here only indexn stove only . I tried many variety rice but it's came mushy.what can I do pls help me .
Sharmilee! :)
It depends on ur cooker…I usually soak the rice for 15-30mins and pressure cook in the ratio 1:2.5(rice:water) for 3-4 whistles this is for normal rice. For basmati it is 1:1.5 and whistles 3 is enough.
