Lassi though a Punjabi delicacy, is now popular in even the remotest parts of India. It is nothing but Yoghurt churned and sweetened with sugar or with salt. Fruit Lassi in a variety of flavours too is available but my most favourite is the Kesar Elaichi Lassi that is the Sweet Lassi flavoured with Saffron and Cardamom and garnished with Pistachios. The traditional Rajasthani churner is a gift from a very dear friend Ramesh Chittal.
Ingredients :
- 1 litre thick curd/Yoghurt
- 15 tsps sugar
- 9 Cardamom pods
- A large pinch of Saffron
- 12 Pistachios shelled and slivered.
Method :
Churn the curds well. Powder the sugar, saffron and Cardamom and tip it into the churned yoghurt. Mix well. Pour in tall glasses or even tiny earthenware and serve chilled garnished with pistachios.
