Ingredients

  • 2 cups cold curd/yogurt, 500 grams
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, adjust as per desired sweetness
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water, or as needed to adjust the consistency of the lassi
  • 4 tablespoons rose syrup, or as required
  • 1/4 teaspoon green cardamom powder, optional

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or clay pot, add curd/yogurt, and whisk until smooth and creamy. You can also use a madani which is a traditional tool used to churn the curd.
  • Next, add powdered sugar, rose syrup, and water, whisk until well combined and frothy.
  • Add cardamom powder, if using, give it a good whisk.
  • Alternatively, you can simply use a blender to blend everything. Blending curd in the blender makes it a bit watery, so you may need just a couple of tablespoons of liquid to adjust the consistency. 
  • Drizzle rose syrup on the sides of the serving glass to create a random pattern and pour the lassi. You may add a few ice cubes if you like.
  • Garnish with slivered pistachios and dried rose petals, and enjoy immediately!
