I wasn't sure how this would be with a full teaspoon of cumin but it was very tasty. Just a little too salty--I think I'll go with 1/2 tsp. salt next time. Very easy to make! Read More

I love plain lassis but I made it exactly according to the recipe and neither my boyfriend nor I could finish it because it was waaay too salty. I know I would have liked it had I used less salt. I will try this again but next time I will start out with 1/4 tsp salt. You can always put more salt in but you can't take it out! Read More

I made this as an accompaniment to an Indian dinner. It was very refreshing but both my roommate and I agreed that it could have used just a pinch less salt. Otherwise delicious! Read More

Cool and refreshing! Even though I don't normally use salt this drink needs it so I used it. It's good both plain or iced! Thanks for the recipe! Read More

I read the comments about saltiness and only added 1/4 tsp which was pretty good. I also love cilantro so I put 1 Tbsp and a little less than 1 tsp cumin (which I don't care for as much). I used almond milk instead of regular milk. Overall I thought the balance was still too salty but I enjoyed a new way to experience one of my favorite herbs! Read More

So so good. But thankfully I read the other reviews first and only put in 1/2 tsp of salt (per two servings) and it was just the perfect amount. Can't imagine anymore than that. Also I love cilantro so added a bit more than was listed here. Read More

have to careful when blending it. The cumin and black pepper tend to get accumulated on one side and not mix well Read More

I love having a salted lassi with Indian food and I usually order one whenever we eat out. This is just about the same as in restaurants and is yummy. Works as a smoothie on its own with Mexican food or with Indian food. Read More
