Punjab has an abundance of milk and
therefore milk products are an important part of daily diet. No meal is
complete without large glassfuls of butter milk or lassi (yoghurt drink).
Lassi is primarily a sweet drink that is a regular feature in North Indian
homes. The drink is taken cold and is a good way to beat the scorching heat
and get refreshed. In addition it is considered to be a healthy drink as it
is made of curd and is devoid of any artificial additives. The flavor of
lassi can be further enhanced by blending fresh fruits like mango or
strawberry and one can enjoy a glassful of your healthy beverage.
Taste this delicacy in states like
Delhi,
Agra, Punjab and
Haryana.
The Highlights of Lassi:
» There are many new drinks flooding the markets but the
flavour of 'lassi' cannot be replaced by any other drink
» This gives energy and cools the body.
» It is believed that it settles the upset stomach.
» Lassi has no side-effects unlike other aerated beverages.
On a hot sunny day it is only natural to quench one's thirst with a tall
glass of Lassi. Lassi is made in two ways either sweet or salty.
