The yoghurt used in this recipe was kindly sent to me by Chobani UK. The yoghurt is 100 % fat free and made from skimmed milk.It was rich and delicious.I have previously tried Chobani yoghurts and cooked with them.You can check out the recipes for Yoghurt and coconut chutney and Sweetcorn drop pancakes that I previously made with Chobani Yoghurts.

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.
ReplyDeleteMmm, this sounds delish. Another one bookmarked for the Summer :D

oooh 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
