Description
Lassi — the yogurt drink of Punjab — serves the same physiological function as raita: the lactic acid refreshes the palate; the fat moderates spice perception; the cold temperature stimulates the nasal passages. It exists in salt (namkeen lassi), sweet (meethi lassi), and mango variants, but the foundational technique is identical: full-fat yogurt beaten to a smooth, aerated consistency with water, then seasoned or flavoured. The aeration is critical — under-beaten lassi is thick and heavy; correctly beaten lassi is light and slightly frothy.
