Notes
- Yogurt: Use fresh and chilled homemade yogurt.
- Consistency: Since lassi has a thick consistency, keep a check on the amount of water and milk you add. I prefer to use whole milk yogurt and whole milk when making lassi.
- Storing: You can refrigerate it for 24 hours.
- Vegan: Use almond milk yogurt and almond milk to make the lassi vegan.
- Garnishes: You can garnish it with a spoonful of malai, Kesar, chopped pistachios, or dried rose petals.
