NonAlcoholic Creamy Savory Refreshing

Lassi Khara es una bebida de yogur salada del norte de la India hecha mezclando yogur con agua fría, sal y una pizca de asafétida, servida fría tradicionalmente con una guarnición de hojas de curry rasgadas. La asafétida, conocida como hing, proporciona un carácter acre a cebolla y ajo que hace de esta una bebida claramente salada y digestiva en lugar de dulce. Es una auténtica alternativa al lassi dulce.

History & Origins

Savory lassi has been a staple of Indian cuisine for millennia, with the yogurt-based beverage serving as both a cooling drink and a digestive aid across the subcontinent. Asafoetida has been used in Indian cooking for over 2,000 years, with ancient Sanskrit texts referencing its culinary and medicinal properties. Lassi Khara represents the savory pole of the lassi tradition, distinct from the sweet Punjab-style version.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Tangy yogurt with the pungent, sulfurous character of asafoetida and a briny salt note. Palate: Savory and tangy — yogurt's lactic tartness dominates, with asafoetida adding a complex onion-garlic undertone and salt providing balance. Finish: Clean and cooling, with a lingering asafoetida pungency.
