SWEET LASSI

Description

A beloved drink from Punjab, Delhi, Amritsar, and North India, Sweet Lassi is a traditional yogurt beverage known for its thick, creamy texture and naturally cooling properties. It is a popular summer drink found in dhabas, sweet shops, and households, often served in large steel glasses or clay cups (kulhads) for an authentic touch.

Prepared by blending fresh yogurt with chilled water or milk, it is sweetened with sugar and infused with aromatic cardamom, saffron, or rose water for extra flavor. Some variations include toppings of chopped nuts like almonds and pistachios, while in cities like Amritsar, it is often topped with a dollop of malai (cream) for a richer taste.

Best enjoyed with parathas, biryanis, or on its own as a refreshing drink, Sweet Lassi is a must-try for anyone looking to experience the authentic taste of North Indian hospitality and tradition.
