Punjabi sweet lassi recipe - How to make sweet lassi

Punjabi sweet lassi recipe - Punjabi sweet lassi is a very delicious drink which can be prepared within few minutes in a simple style. Today I am sharing the recipe with you all. During summer time, yogurt based food keeps the body cool and I make lassi to refresh from scorching heat. Yogurt is very handy and it can be used in many ways. We all love yogurt based dishes such as raitas, buttermilk, curd rice, lassi or plain yogurt. 

I make these dishes very often. Lassi is one of our favorite drinks. Whenever I make sweet lassi with homemade fresh yogurt, we enjoy it thoroughly. I have already posted how to make yogurt at home in one of my recent posts. I have added small amount of malai (cream) to the lassi to get a creamy taste. But you can skip adding the malai.
