How safe is Lassi ?
Kind-of assumed it was equivalent to the Great British Tradition of Talking loudly in a foreign accent when talking to non-english speakers....
And I too, would expect some water to be there in fruit juices and, to a lesser extent in Lassi. If it is pretty thick then probably no water, but you will be drinking it by that time!

I've never got into the Lassi slurping craze. They're okay but a bit of a disappointment after mixing my own yoghurt smoothies with fresh fruit/ fruit juice and a bit of brown rice syrup for some sweat (sorry sweet
).
I'm sure somebody is going to say that a smoothie is just a westernized version of a lassi anyway!

According to Wikipedia the term/drink Smoothie originated as a non-dairy alternative to a milkshake in california - away back when - but now is a catch-all phrase for any yoghurt cum fruit drink. I guess the revelation in it is the use of frozen fruit instead of ice to cool it down while flavouring it at the same time. May be something that the Indian lassi could adopt to prevent less upset tummies from bad ice.

r u sure that milk-jogurt lassi is not Traditional?
I think its very traditional and fruit lassi too!it depends only which fruit its more around mango and less bananas and strawberries maybe but in vedic Cuisine u have salt and sweet lassis both!!
the way they make it in many cheap small restaurants in India, is not always very traditional!! (I mean the water lassi)

another definition of the indian brand of lassi - '...... Lassi ..... From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.... A cool glass of LassiLassi is a traditional South Asian beverage, originally from Punjab, India, made by blending yogurt with water, salt, and spices until frothy. Lassis are enjoyed chilled as a hot-weather refreshment. Traditional lassi is salty and sometimes flavored with ground roasted cumin.....'

That ground roasted cummin does magic Sadhuji.... so does a twist of lime & a pinch of salt to a light lassi. My guilty pleasure is two spoons of Rooh Afja in my breakfast lassi all thru the summer.
in the tamilnadu, buttermilk drinks are called 'more' [pronounced as the english word] and usually much lighter rather than thicker..with additions/combinations of green chillies, curry leaf, ginger, salt, asafoetida, and lime (not common). unlike the lassi's, sugary ones are not the norm and more the exceptions ~
and raw green mangoes in season to the above combinations.....too..
