This is the kind of salted lassi that I love! I especially like the addition of Japanese cucumber. Will definitely try this out some time.
Brilliant pic, Preethi!
Absolutely beautiful clicks Preethi. Preethi, you’re like me I prefer namkeen lassi to the sweet one. I sometimes make cucumber and coriander lassi to get hubby to include cucumber in his diet but have not tried with pepper. Perfect cooling drink for hot days.
Refreshing cucumber, curry and coriander leaves makes it a super natural coolant for summers.. gorgeous shots are making it more inviting!!
Cucumber coriander lassi sounds healthy and absolutely delicious. What a lovely click Preethi. Really loved the pictures. Cucumber, curry leaves, coriander, roasted cumin and black pepper wow I can imagine the flavour and taste. I would love to try it soon.
Absolutely delicious lassi. Looks like you too me enjoy salted lassi. I love the clicks they’re awesome.
What a amazing presentation Preethi ji, loved all the pics. It’s very attractive and inviting. I love salted lassi alot, spices and cucumber blended with curd surely tasted amazing. Please pass me that matka wala lassi.
Wow this is a must try, I love cucumber raita and this looks similar but since cucumber is all mixed along with curry leaves it would be so delicious and healthy too. I am definitely trying this masala lassi
My kind of lassi too. I never like sweet lassi. lovely flavors of cucumber and coriander. beautiful and tempting pictures
WOW !!! Love this glass full of cucumber lassi. The roasted cumin seeds must be adding a nice crunch to the lassi.
