Plain Sweet Lassi | Sweet Lassi | Indian Lassi Recipe
Description
Plain Sweet Lassi is a traditional Indian yogurt-based drink made by blending yogurt with milk or water, sugar, and ice cubes. The process involves beating the yogurt until smooth, crushing the ice, then blending all ingredients until a frothy layer forms on top. Adding malai on the surface enhances creaminess and texture.
The flavor is mildly sweet with the tang of yogurt balanced by sugar, and the texture is light, chilled, and frothy due to the aeration from blending. This drink is served cold and poured from a height to induce foaminess, which is characteristic of a well-made lassi.
Serving Plain Sweet Lassi is ideal during warm weather or as a cooling accompaniment to spicy Indian meals. The malai topping adds a decorative and creamy contrast. This recipe focuses on classic preparation without additional fruit flavors or spices.
To achieve the preferred frothy texture, blending for a full two minutes is recommended, along with pouring from a height to develop foam. Using fresh, chilled ingredients enhances the drinking experience.

- 1 cup yogurt chilled
- ½ cup milk or water, chilled
