🧾Ingredient Notes
Here is a pic of the ingredients you’ll need to make this rose lassi recipe.
Yogurt: You can use homemade or store-bought yogurt. Make sure to use full-fat whole milk yogurt to get the best creamy texture of lassi. Also, make sure to use chilled yogurt right from the fridge. However, you can use low-fat or fat-free yogurt but sure you’ll notice the texture difference. Milk: It is added to adjust the consistency. You can use chilled water instead. Rose syrup: It is easily available in any Indian or Pakistani grocery store. Alternatively, you can use rooh afza as well. Gulkand (rose petal jam): It adds a unique rose flavor. It is easily available in the Indian grocery store. Make sure to use regular plain gulkand. Do not use paan gulkand which has other ingredients like menthol, and fennel seeds added. For garnishing, pistachios and dried rose petals are used. These are optional. Sugar: You may not need sugar as rose syrup and gulkand both are sweet. If you need then you can add a teaspoon or two as per your liking sweetness.

💭Expert Tips
If serving right away then make sure to use chilled yogurt and chilled milk. Because lassi tastes best when served chilled. Adjust the sugar amount or skip as per your liking sweetness. I have not added it as rose syrup and gulkand are already sweet. Different brand of rose syrup has a different level of sweetness, so you may or may not need sugar. Optional add-in: You can add cardamom powder (seeds of green cardamom are crushed in mortar and pestle). In my opinion, cardamom and rose both are super fragrant and when combined the flavor and aroma clash together. So I avoid adding cardamom to rose lassi recipe. Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt: Yes, you can use it. But you’ll need to add more milk or water to adjust the consistency as Greek yogurt is thick. Also, the flavor will be different. Trust me. plain yogurt taste much better.
