[www.keralites.net] Salty Lassi for Hot Summer

The Traditional Lassi is a salty yogurt drink which is a thicker consistency than that of buttermilk. It can be spiced with various spices and ingredients, but it almost always includes ground cumin powder.

It's extremely easy and quick to make not to mention very refreshing and cooling to beat the heat of Summer.
