I like sweet lassi very much, but not tangy. Just sweet, creamy and flavourful. I do not believe most of the restaurants, so never order a sweet lassi. I wanted to try kesar lassi for long time as I knew it will be really good with rich curd. When I bought greek yogurt, I wanted to try lassi with it since the texture of it is so different from our curd.
So when Alva’s curd sent me 3 of their tubs for trying, I thought to try out lassi as this Alva’s curd also has a thick and rich texture. Each tub has its malai layer on top which is so flavourful and tasty. I have wrote about Alva’s natural yogurt in my Instagram handle, you can have a look at it if you are interested.

Ingredients

• Plain yogurt (Curd) – 3/4 cup
• Milk – 1/2 cup
• Sugar – 2 tbsp
• Saffron – 1/2 tsp
• Cardamom – 1
• Almonds, pistachios chopped – 2 tsp

Method

1. In a tbsp of warm milk, soak saffron for 10 mins. Mix well after 10 mins and you will get the bright colour from saffron.
2. In a mixer, place chilled curd, chilled milk, sugar, saffron soaked milk, cardamom.
3. Blend well so that sugar gets dissolved.
4. Pour into the serving glasses and serve immediately.

Notes

• Do not add too much of saffron, it will be overpowering. Also saffron and cardamom go well with each other.
• If possible, add powdered cardamom as its is not getting blended well.
• Sugar quantity may vary if the tanginess of curd varies.
• You can add ice while blending but it dilutes the lassi more.
