lassi
Blended curd drink
Lassi is a traditional South Asian yogurt-based drink, popular in India and Pakistan.
It's typically blended with water and may be sweet, salty, or flavored with fruit—mango lassi being especially common in restaurants.
The drink is cooling and often accompanies spicy foods: I ordered a mango lassi with my curry.
