Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a blender, combine 2 cups plain yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, 3 crumbled Amritsari peda sweets, 1/2 tsp cardamom powder, and 2 tbsp sugar. Blend on high for 1 minute until smooth and thick.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup crushed ice to the blender and pulse 2-3 times to mix without melting the ice completely, keeping the drink chilled and frothy.
  3. Step 3: Pour the lassi into tall glasses and garnish each with 1 tbsp chopped pistachios for a nutty texture and visual appeal. Serve immediately.
