Other names : ਲੱਸੀ/لسی, لسي, لسی, : लस्सी, લસ્સી, লস্যি, شوملې‎
Lassi is a popular, traditional, yogurt-based drink. Lassi is a blend of yogurt, water, spices and sometimes, fruit. Traditional lassi (a.k.a., "salted lassi", or simply, "lassi") is a savory drink, sometimes flavored with ground and roasted cumin. Sweet lassi, however, contains sugar or fruits, instead of spices.

Benefits and uses of Lassi are

• beneficial to pacify the Vata dosha due to the heavy and sweet qualities of the yogurt.
• also used to balance the Pitta dosha by adding cooling ingredients such as rose water and coconut. * For the kapha dosha, lassi can also work since the addition of the digestive spices, as well as the dilution of the yogurt with water, aids the assimilation of yogurt into the body.
• Probiotics : Lassi is also highly regarded in Ayurveda because of beneficial bacteria called probiotics found in all cultured yogurt. Probiotics help maintain the flora of the small intestines, which promotes overall colon health as well as aiding immunity.
