Lassi is Pakistan's quintessential cooling drink, a yogurt-based beverage that has refreshed people on the subcontinent for thousands of years. In Pakistan, lassi comes in two beloved forms: the sweet version, flavored with sugar and cardamom, and the salty version, seasoned with roasted cumin and salt. The Punjab province is especially famous for its thick, creamy lassi, traditionally churned in clay pots and served in tall steel glasses topped with a thick layer of cream.
