Spicy Savory Tamarind Lassi
Spicy Tamarind Lassi. This is a savory/salt lassi prepared with yogurt and spiced up with chaat masalas along with tamarind and paprika.
Ingredients
- Thick Yogurt - 1.5 cups I used greek yogurt
- Water - 1/2 cup If you are using tamarind extract instead of paste, use 1/4 cup of water
- Tamarind Paste - 2 tsps
- Black Salt - 1/2 tsp
- Regular salt - 1/4 tsp
- Chaat Masala - 1/2 tsp
- Jal Jeera Masala - 1/2 tsp
- Paprika - 1/2 tsp add during blending + 1/4 tsp (for adding before serving)
- Crushed Dried Mint leaves - 1/4 tsp + 1/4 tsp optional, see above
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients in a blender including 1/4 tsp of dried mint leaves and blend until smooth and frothy.
- That’s it. Tamarind lassi is ready. :-)
- Serve chilled with a dash of paprika and crushed mint leaves.
Notes
We really liked this combination and proportion of masala and tamarind paste. But adjust the ingredients according to your preference.
Instead of paprika, regular chilly powder can be used too.
As I mentioned above, if you are using tamarind extract instead of paste, use 1/4 cup of water.
Dried mint is completely optional but of course it adds flavor to the lassi.
