Method for the Pudina Lassi

For the pudina lassi, add the mint leaves to a small blender jar. These mint leaves are cleaned, washed and roughly chopped so that they are easily blended.
To this, add the black salt. This will give an unusual, pleasant taste to the Pudina Lassi.
Now add the sugar to the blender. This quantity of sugar is perfect for a sweet lassi but if you like your lassi very sweet, you can add more sugar. You can also try other sweet lassis like Mango lassi and Kesar Pista Lassi
Finally add the jeera powder. Even though it seems like we're adding savory elements to a sweet lassi but that is what makes this sweet mint lassi unique from other recipes.
Shut the lid of the blender and blend this into a semi-smooth paste. This will be a thick paste as it has sugar. Keep aside.

Take thick curd in a deep bowl. If the curd is not thick, the lassi will be very watery. Use chilled curd for a cold lassi or if you are using room temperature cur then refrigerate till serving.
Whisk the curd till it is smooth.
Now add the prepared paste to this. It will not only give a pleasant green flavor but also give a great minty sweet flavor.
Whisk again till the paste is properly incorporated into the curd.
To give an authentic feel, pour the lassi in clay glasses.
