Put curd, water, mint leaves, roasted jeera, salt and ice in a blender jar.

Pour into a glass, top with a pinch of jeera powder and a mint leaf, and drink straight away.
Tips
- For a thicker lassi use hung curd or skip the water and add more ice.
- Add 1/4 inch of ginger to the blender when you have a cold or an upset stomach.
Swaps
- Swap mint for 2 tbsp chopped coriander and a pinch of black pepper for a different flavour.
