Talk:Lassi

Any resources of authoritative recipes? :) I was looking for the salty lassi, but Wikipedia didn't have the answer. Amazing!

Salty
- 0.25L (1 cup) Full-Fat Yogurt
- 0.25L (1 cup) Chilled milk
- 1 teaspoon (4g) Cumin seeds
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon (2-4g) Salt
- 0.1L (1/2 cup) Ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon Mint (finely crumbled, dried; optional)
Dry-roast cumin seeds by cooking them over low heat in small pan until you can smell the seasoning, about 2 to 3 minutes. Cool and grind. In blender, blend cumin seed powder with yogurt, milk, lemon juice, salt and ice cubes. Optionally scatter with crumbled mint. Serve chilled.
Makes 4 servings.
Sweet
A source says:
Sweet Lassi:
- 1 c plain full-fat yogurt
- 1 c water
- 1 tsp rosewater
- dash lemon juice
- dash nutmeg
- pinch salt
- splenda to taste (maybe 1 tb)
(should be cross-checked to other recipes; to avoid quoting a source. it was on a bulleting board with no licence.)
Measures
As far as I get the measures:
- 1 teaspoon = 4.8 grams
- 1 cup(liquid) = 0.24 Liters
Are they the same?
I don't know Indian lassi, but I think that the Turkish drink (I think the Turkish name is different, check at a döner kebap joint) is quite waterlike. Drinkin yoghourt (Dan'up brand by Danone) is thicker, like tomato sauce if that helps.
