Lassi (pronounced [ləs-siː]) (La'See) is a popular, traditional, yogurt-based drink from the Indian Subcontinent and is popular in India. Lassi is a blend of yogurt, water, spices and sometimes, fruit. Traditional lassi (a.k.a., "salted lassi", or simply, "lassi") is a savoury drink, sometimes flavoured with ground and roasted cumin. Sweet lassi, however, contains sugar or fruits, instead of spices. Salted mint lassi is highly favoured in Bangladesh.
