This delicious lassi brings together tangy yogurt, a hint of salt, and the earthy aroma of cumin, making it an excellent accompaniment to spicy meals or a revitalizing drink on its own.

Ingredients
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

- Fresh mint or coriander leaves for garnish
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Start by placing the plain yogurt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk it until smooth.
- Add the cold water to the bowl and mix thoroughly until you reach a desired consistency. If you prefer a thicker lassi, you can adjust the water according to your liking.
- Next, sprinkle in the roasted cumin powder, salt, and black pepper (if using). Give everything a good stir to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Now taste your lassi and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer a bit more tanginess, feel free to add a touch of lemon juice.
- If you want to serve the lassi chilled, add a few ice cubes to the mixing bowl or serve it in glasses over ice.
- Finally, pour the lassi into serving glasses and garnish with fresh mint or coriander leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
