My in-laws eat a similar salted yoghurt drink in North Cyprus which is the Turkish side. I don't think it has the spices though. They would really improve the flavour.

Perfect for the season, yummy one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a tasty lassi! This sounds so refreshing on a hot summer day - and quite healthful too!
ReplyDeletevery refreshing!
ReplyDeleteI may have to give this a try. I like all of those flavors as an accompaniment to Indian food, but I'm not sure how I would feel about drinking them. Thanks for linking up at Pin It Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteYum! Going to try this when I next do a curry!
ReplyDeleteI've never had Lassi. It would go well with a curry as yogurt does in general.
ReplyDeleteoooh looks and sounds tasty x
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, it's definitely different to my usual summery drink. I think the juice of the lemon would give it the kick it needs to take away from the milkyness of it. xx
