salted lassi recipe – one more contrasting variation to the popular sweet punjabi lassi. a cooling savory yogurt drink to beat the heat.

lassi is a very popular drink which is made during summers in india. there are many ways of making lassi. it could be sweet, salty or made with fruits like mango, papaya, and strawberry. most people like sweet lassi but some people are also fond of salted lassi. my personal choice in lassi, will always be mango lassi.

this salted lassi is flavored with black salt, roasted cumin powder and garnished with mint leaves. if you like the hint of black salt in drinks then you might like this lassi. if you do are not able to get black salt, then substitute with regular salt or rock salt.

a variation to this lassi, is too blend some mint leaves with yogurt and you have nice refreshing mint lassi. some people also make this lassi just with yogurt, water and salt.

a few step by step pics to make this salted lassi recipe:

1. take the yogurt in a bowl or pan.

2. add water to yogurt.

3. sprinkle the salt and roasted cumin powder. if you don't have cumin, then just dry roast the cumin till fragrant, in a small pan or skillet/tawa and then crush in a mortar-pestle.

4. with a wired whisk blend everything well till smooth. here i have used the traditional indian hand held blender, known as madani in hindi. you can use an electric blender.

5. pour the lassi in glasses. garnish with mint leaves and serve salted lassi. ice cubes can also be added or you can use chilled yogurt and water to make this lassi.
