Punjabi Lassi is a popular yogurt-based drink originating from the Punjab region of India. It is made by blending fresh yogurt with water, sugar, and sometimes flavored with cardamom, saffron, rosewater, or fruits to enhance its taste.
Served chilled, it is an excellent refreshment, especially in the hot summer months. Lassi comes in two main varieties: sweet, which is rich and creamy, and salted, which is mildly spiced and savory.
