Ingredients
Yogurt (Dahi/Curd): 2 cups
1 cup Mint Leaves
1 tsp Ginger Juice
1 tsp Salt
Black Salt: 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
1 tsp Roasted Cumin Powder
Ice Cubes: 1/2 cup (to blend) and more for serving
few Mint Leaves
Instructions
1
Using a fine shredder or grater, grate the fresh ginger. Gather the grated ginger and squeeze it with your fingers to extract 1 teaspoon of ginger juice.
2
Add the mint leaves and about two tablespoons of yogurt to a blender. Blend until very fine to create a smooth mint paste.
3
Add the rest of the yogurt, ginger juice, salt, black salt (if using), and roasted cumin seed powder to the blender.
4
Blend everything for a few seconds just to mix. Note: Do not blend too much, or the lassi will become too frothy.
5
Pour the lassi into glasses over ice cubes. Garnish with roasted cumin seed powder and a few mint leaves.
