Salted Lassi

Instructions

1. Blend the yogurt
   In a blender, add the yogurt and blend for 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. If using thick yogurt, you may need to add a splash of water to help the blending process.
2. Add water and spices
   Add the cold water, roasted cumin powder, black salt, regular salt, and black pepper to the blender. Blend again for 20-30 seconds until well combined and frothy.
3. Incorporate herbs
   Add the chopped mint leaves, coriander leaves, and green chili (if using) to the blender. Pulse a few times to mix the herbs without completely pulverizing them.
4. Adjust consistency and seasoning
   Taste the lassi and adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed. Adjust the salt or spices according to your preference. The lassi should be slightly thin but not watery, with a balanced savory flavor.
5. Serve chilled
   Pour the lassi into tall glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with a sprinkle of cumin powder and a few mint leaves. Serve immediately for the best taste and refreshment.
