Recipe
Ingredients
- Yogurt
- Sugar
- Cardamom
- Rose water
- Malai(Cream)
- Unglazed vessel
Instructions
- [For
- Servings/Ingredients] 400g full-fat unsweetened yogurt (buffalo's is best),
- tbsp sugar, 1/
- tsp cardamom powder, few drops rose water,
- tbsp Malai (cream skin formed when boiling milk),
- unglazed vessels (Matka or Kulhad).
- Put high-fat rich yogurt (Dahi) in large bowl, add sugar, cardamom powder, rose water.
- Sandwich traditional Indian wooden masher (Madhani) in both hands, manually stirring powerfully making 'shaka-shaka shuko-shuko' sounds until yogurt froths smoothly (*Secret to ultra-richness is absolutely adding no ice/water).
- Pour finished rich Lassi brimmingly into 'unglazed pot (Matka)' slightly larger than Chai's.
- Here is Matka's magic. Unglazed micro-pores let yogurt's excess moisture escape outside, condensing Lassi into even gooier 'semi-solid'.
- To finish, scoop thick cream skin (Malai) formed on surface of milk boiled in separate pot with wooden spatula, placing it 'plop' like a lid atop the pot. Served with wooden spoon not straw; 'scoop and eat' ultimate ultra-rich yogurt infused with earthy aroma—Punjab's soul drink.

Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Lassi is a drink made in mixer' is a modern simplified version. In authentic Punjab, manual stirring to 'incorporate air' and 'evaporating moisture via unglazed vessel' are absolute conditions. So gooey it won't spill even if vessel is inverted; a texture closer to 'rich panna cotta' than a drink.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] First luxuriantly scoop only the thick cream (Malai) chunk on top with spoon to eat, then drink the earthy-smelling rich Lassi from the unglazed vessel!
