Lassi as known to almost everyone in India is a traditional beverages of the Punjabi population. It is a yogurt/ curd/ dahi based beverage seasoned with spices. Often we get fruits variant of the lassi too. So in this blog I will be sharing my way of lassi i.e. watermelon lassi which I made out of blues one afternoon when it was too hot and I needed something cool to drink apart from regular beverages. It is very quick and easy to make and need as less as 5 ingredients.

Directions

• In the blender, add the chilled curd, powdered sugar, watermelon cubes, black salt or cardamom powder and mint leaves. Blend it on high speed till watermelon is liquidified.
• Take out the watermelon lassi in a glass tumbler or a mason jar. Pop it into the fridge for few minutes and serve chilled, garnished with fresh mint leaves.

Tips: You can either add black salt or cardamom powder, all depends on you. I added black salt to balance the sweetness as the watermelon was too sweet. If you don’t like the salty taste then add cardamom powder instead of black salt. For little spicyness you can even add red chili powder or black pepper powder or even a pinch of chaat masala to the lassi.
