Lassi - A South Indian Drink
原料
- Yoghurt 1/2 cup plain
- Water 1 1/4 cup cold
- Cumin seed 1/2 tsp ground roasted
- Salt 1/4 tsp
- Mint 1/4 tsp dried
调制步骤
Blend in a blender for 3 seconds. Lassi is one of the easiest things to make, and there are many ways of making it. Basically, it is buttermilk (yoghurt whisked with water), and you can choose almost any consistency that you like, from the thinnest to the thickest. Serve cold.
拉西是一种传统的南印度冰凉酸奶饮料，将原味酸奶与冷水、烤孜然、盐和干薄荷混合，打造出一款清爽、沁凉、极为解渴的饮品。与甜味的北印度拉西不同，这款咸味版本是南印度辛辣食物的常见佐餐饮品。烤孜然增添了独特的泥土气息和烟熏深度。
History & Origins
Lassi has been consumed on the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years, with documented references dating back to 1000 BCE in Vedic texts. The savory, salted version is most closely associated with South India and Punjab, where it has been a staple of daily life alongside rice and dahl. The roasted cumin variation is a specific South Indian tradition used to aid digestion and cool the body.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Tangy yogurt, earthy roasted cumin, and a gentle dried-mint freshness. Palate: Cooling and savory — yogurt's characteristic tang is amplified by salt and balanced by the aromatic warmth of roasted cumin and the herbal freshness of dried mint. Finish: Clean and refreshing, with a lingering earthy cumin note.
Pro Tip
Blend briefly for only 3–5 seconds to achieve a frothy but not overly aerated texture; serve immediately over ice for maximum refreshing effect.
