# 40: Sweet Lassi

There definitely something about North Indian food & beverages.. I love just everything about it. Its so simple to prepare, yet so nutrious, and filling.

Lassi is the best example..(Cooling, refreshing, and filling on a hot summer day! Ummm.. I give it a full 5 star rating..)

Well, South Indians also have their version of it.. its probably called "Butter milk".. but its no fun to have butter milk..and there is surely no comparison between Lassi & Butter Milk.

It was again one of my lazy summer afternoons.. randomly browing through the 100 channels we are offered..only to realise that i stick by some 4 or 5 channels.. rest???? who cares.. ya..so I was watching a show on "TLC" about a globe trotter and her love to explore the food around the places she visits. And this time, she decided to visit Amritsar and the Golden Temple.

She went around the gurudwara and its Kitchen..etc etc... i can just narrate the whole show to the "T".

Cutting it short.. she went on to prepare the lassi, the apparently traditional way..which i did not quiet know. So decided to try it out myself!

Ingredients:
  1. Curd - 1 cup
  2. Milk - 1/2 glass
  3. Sugar - 4 Tsp (or as per taste)
  4. A pinch of salt
Preparation:

To the cup of curd, add the milk, sugar, & a pinch of salt. Beat the mix together or you can just use a shaker to get the Lassi all ready and done with.

Sprinkle some pepper/black salt just before serving!
