Lassi and Chaas taste best when served chilled. So always use chilled Dahi/Curd and chilled water.

You can add Chat Masala in place of roasted and powdered cumin powder.

Use fresh mint leaves only. The dried leaves will not give the desired flavour to this drink.

You can adjust or skip fresh coriander, mint leaves and ginger as per your taste.

Adjust consistency according to preference but dough is traditionally thin in consistency.
