FAQS

  1. Can I use regular curd instead of thick curd?

    Yes, but thick curd provides a creamier texture and richer flavor to the lassi.

  2. What types of dry fruits can I use?

    You can use almonds, cashews, pistachios, or raisins. Feel free to mix and match based on your preference.

  3. How do I make kesar infused water?

    Soak a few strands of saffron in warm water or milk for 10-15 minutes to release its color and aroma.

  4. Can I make this lassi ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare it a few hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Stir well before serving.

  5. Is Shahi Lassi suitable for vegans?

    No, as it contains curd, which is a dairy product. You can try substituting with a plant-based yogurt for a vegan version.
