Notes
- Curd - Use thick curd for best results, Chill the curd and use it.
- Milk - Always use boiled, cooled milk.
- Consistency -The consistency is slightly thick, you can thin it by adding little water if you want a runny consistency. But usually lassi is thick and rich.
- Topping - Actually you can top up more cream if you like while serving as in shops. No need to whisk the malai to a creamy texture as you need to feel the malai texture in your mouth while drinking.
- Blending - You can use whipper blade or regular use mixer itself. Otherwise you can use a hand whisk or mathu as I have done here.
- Variations - You can also add a pinch of saffron for extra flavor.
- Add 1 tbsp butter for a more rich and creamy lassi.
