Salted Mint Lassi

This salted mint lassi is a revitalising vegetarian drink that offers a sophisticated alternative to the more common sweet versions. By combining thick, creamy Greek-style yoghurt with the cooling properties of fresh mint and a hint of savoury salt, it creates a perfectly balanced beverage. The addition of toasted cumin seeds provides an earthy depth and aromatic finish that cuts through the richness of the dairy beautifully.

Historically enjoyed across South Asia to aid digestion, this savoury lassi is an excellent accompaniment to a spicy curry or a light summer lunch. It is incredibly quick to prepare at home, requiring just a few simple ingredients and a quick whirl in the blender. Serve it chilled over plenty of ice for the ultimate thirst-quenching experience on a warm afternoon.
