Lassi, (“लस्सी” in Hindi) meaning ‘buttermilk,’ is an Indian sub-continental drink made from yoghurt. It has been around since something like 1,000 BC and has been thought to have pseudoscientific, Ayurvedic healing properties on both the stomach and mind. In actual fact, yoghurt is quite good for settling the stomach, so there may be mileage in this. We have made Salted Lassi before, and this can be a little peculiar if you are not used to it. Far more palatable is a sweet mango version.
The recipe for Mango Lassi on this page is from the Dishoom mini-chain of high-end, UK-based Bombay restaurants.
