Before you start
- Sweet and salted are not variations of one drink; they are two drinks. Do not try to make something in between.
- The froth is the point. Churn hard, and serve before it settles.
Method
- Whisk the cold yogurt alone until completely smooth, with no lumps.
- Add the cold water gradually, whisking or blending, until it lightens and a head of foam forms.Gradually. Dumping the water in gives a thin, flat drink.
- For sweet lassi, add sugar, ground cardamom and a drop of rose water.
- For salted, add salt, black salt and roasted cumin instead.
- Churn once more to raise the foam and pour into chilled glasses.
- Serve at once, with the foam still standing.
Storage
Drink fresh. It separates within an hour and never quite recovers.
