Lassi is an Indian yogurt drink with thick and creamy texture.It is best when served cold and you can play wildly your imagination with respect to flavourings that go with it.Lassis are good for health especially in hot months of summer.It is also called as Namkeen Kheera Lassi and is one of the refreshing and cooling drinks that i ever tasted.Cucumber of all sorts is available in plenty in the markets during summer and why don’t you make a good use of it besides using them for salads.So in a nutshell this is the most ideal bevarage or drink during hot summer months.
If you are planning to host a North Indian themed lunch or dinner this would be a perfect combo along with other varieties and a great way to finish off your meal.Some people add roasted cumin powder,some add chaat masala.It is up to you to choose whatever flavour you may like,both are equally good.If you find the cucumber mixture thick after grinding,you can add some chilled water to it.
