Cucumber Lassi / summer treats
Written by Jayashree

Summer is at its peak in India, nothing is more good than a glass of cold water. We tend to dislike food during this season, juice, fruits and ice cream taste best. Lassi is an ideal drink during summer.

Lassi is a traditional Indian yoghurt based drink. It is made using curd, water and a few spices. It may be sweet or salted. Fruits may be added in sweet lassi.

A few other summer drinks that I have on the blog are :Kiwi Lemonade,Coconut Cucumber Cooler, Strawberry LassiToday, I have cucumber lassi, it is spicy and tasty. Do give a try to this drink.

Let’s get to the recipe of Cucumber Lassi :

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup thick curd
  • 3 cucumber
  • 1 green chilly
  • 1/2 inch ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Method:

  1. Cut the cucumber into pieces.
  2. Blend it along with ginger and green chilly.
  3. Add curd, salt, cumin powder and water. Give a swirl.
  4. Pour in glasses and serve.

Hubby doesn’t like to eat cucumber on its own so add it to lassi. He’ll have it that way. What a cooling, healthy drink.

Now that the weather has become warmer, one of the lassi that I like to make on a regular basis is cucumber lassi. Love it as it is refreshing and savoury. Like the idea of also adding a bit of ginger. Will try that next time.
