I am fond of Lassi very much and often prepare it at home rather than buying from the store. As all at home like lassi it is the a normal phenomenon to end our meal and finish it off with this drink.But I have never attempted to make sweet lassi. Ravi and Dhivya prefer the salt version and chaas varieties.On my recent visit to Delhi I had tadka chaas.It was a rich chaas full of tempered spices.I also tasted Sweet Lassi from Punjab Sweet Stall.It was totally out of the world, was light and not heavy and served chilled.A refreshing way to end our meal and is most popular in the Punjab and other Northern regions.Often I make lassi with home made curd and churn it with madani which is used for churning.It is also called as mathu in Tamil.

For extra richness in hotels and other outlets in North,they add a spoon of butter on top.I have not added as I wanted my lassi to be light.The traditional way of churning the buttermilk and making lassi always makes me awe.In olden times this was a regular feature and lassi,buttermilk were included in their daliy staple diet. Amongst the many varieties of lassi I have Masala Chaas and Mango Lassi on my blog.Do check them out.I have lassi flavoured with rose water and cardamom.You can add sliced almonds as garnish as a variation.
