Ingredients

• 1000 g yogurt Indian ( chilled )
• 400 ml Mineral water ( very cold )
• 6 tbsp White sugar
• 2 tsp Cardamom powder
• 20 g Roasted salted pistachio optional ( crushed )
• 12 piece Ice cubes

Instructions

1. Smoothing the yogurt

   In a large container, whisk the Indian yogurt vigorously. The texture must become perfectly smooth, without any lumps, before adding the other elements.

2. Seasoning

   Stir in the white sugar and cardamom powder. Mix until the sugar is completely dissolved in the milky mixture.

3. Thinning and emulsion

   Pour the cold mineral water in a thin stream while continuing to whisk. A fine foam should appear on top, a sign of good aeration.

4. Finishing

   Distribute the ice cubes into the glasses then pour the lassi. Coarsely crush the roasted pistachios and sprinkle them over the foam to add crunch.

Chef's tips

• Use a hand whisk for a finer froth than a blender.
• The yogurt should be full-fat to achieve that characteristic creaminess.

Storage

Consume immediately to keep the froth, or store for a maximum of 12 hours in the fridge.
