Salted lassi is a savory lassi variety prepared with yogurt (dahi), salt, and typically roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera). It commonly includes pepper and other spices, and it is sometimes diluted with water. The preparation consists of mixing the ingredients until the combination is well combined and frothy.


This lassi is one of India's most popular lassi varieties, and it is traditionally served in a clay cup called kulhar. The drink is especially popular as a refreshing and replenishing summer drink. It can be served over ice, and it sometimes comes topped with cumin or chopped mint leaves.
