About this dish
Lassi is a yogurt–based beverage with a smoothie-like consistency. The word 'lassi' for the drink is a borrowing from Hindi, first attested in 1882; its ultimate origin is unclear, and has been suggested as derived ultimately from Sanskrit lasya (stickiness) or rasah (juice). Lassi is prepared by blending yogurt, water, and spices. In Punjab, where the drink originated, the yogurt is traditionally made from water buffalo milk. Variations include the addition of salt, cumin or cardamom. Lassi is traditionally served in a clay cup known as kulhar. In the 21st century, lassi is commonly consumed in many world regions.
