how to prepare punjabi lassi /sweet lassi

My memory lane is spreading over those unforgettable moments(days) where me and my hubby would wander the streets of parry’s corner in Chennai(Parry’s corner is an important landmark for shopping everything and anything you need)The ever crowded parry’s corner had a famous lassi shop!It was the place where I first tasted a punjabi lassi it was just divine and awesome thirst quencher!from then onwards I have become a die-hard fan of it.This world renowned authentic dessert drink is enjoyed after a hefty spicy meal or had simply as it is! but a must say great summer drink.The high point is to add malai to it which enriches and boosts the creaminess!but its purely optional.I have added malai at the end and beaten it up but if you like to have the chunks of it then add it as such .Lassi is a drink that are traditionally served in long glasses!it is a total addictive drink.

Notes

Adding malai is optional.
Malai is the layer collected from top of the milk.
Instead of ice cubes you can add water but I prefer adding ice-cubes.
For cardamom powder only the seeds are powdered and added.
Perfect fresh curd/yogurts works great for this lassi.
