Measurement Details: 1 tsp = 5ml; 1 tbsp = 15ml; 1cup=240ml;
- 1.5 cups yogurt I used full-fat.
- ½ cup water
- 2 tsp tamarind paste
- ½ tsp black salt
- ¼ tsp regular salt
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp jal jeera masala

- ½ tsp dried mint leaves crushed (divided)

- That's it. Tamarind Lassi is ready. :-)
- Serve chilled with a dash of paprika and crushed mint leaves.
Notes
- We liked this combination and proportion of masala and tamarind paste. But adjust the ingredients according to your preference.
- Instead of paprika, you can use regular red chili powder or cayenne pepper.
- If you use tamarind extract instead of paste, use ¼ cup of water.
- Mint is completely optional, but it adds flavor to the lassi. Opt for fresh or dried based on your availability.
