Talk:Lassi

message: Any resources of authoritative recipes? :) I was looking for the salty lassi, but Wikipedia didn't have the answer. Amazing!
:: You don't really find recipes on Wikipedia. The correct place would be Wikibooks. And in fact, I've just dug out a Cookbook on Lassi there conveniently :) Mar4d (talk) 12:18, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

message: A source says:
Sweet Lassi:
*1 c plain full-fat yogurt
*1 c water
*1 tsp rosewater
*dash lemon juice
*dash nutmeg
*pinch salt
*splenda to taste (maybe 1 tb)
(should be cross-checked to other recipes; to avoid quoting a source. it was on a bulleting board with no licence.)
:I wouldn't trust a recipe which mentions Splenda.  It's not exactly traditional.  Anyway, that'd be rose lassi, a kind of sweet lassi but not the only kind.  Note that rosewater is sweet anyway.  Jimp 19:11, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

message: I don't know Indian lassi, but I think that the Turkish drink (I think the Turkish name is different, check at a döner kebap joint) is quite waterlike. 
Drinkin yoghourt (Dan'up brand by Danone) is thicker, like tomato sauce if that helps.

:: You are quite right, but the Turkish one is quite bland e.g. no sugar or salt. But it is called Ayran. But is a much "duller" drink compared to the Indian Lassi.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.149.246.86 (talk) 23:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Mango lassi is a type of lassi and is not the only type of lassi. Make a seperate page for mango lassi if you wish, but don't automatically redirect Lassi to Mango Lassi.  Sctele 21:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Stop changing it from Indian/Pakistani to Pakistani/Indian 

message: Noticed the recent tilt of the article towards regionalism (Punjab). Lassi is a common milk-based product hardly specific to any region in India (or broadly anywhere), Punjab is not where it "originated". What caught my attention was the mention that the word lassi has been borrowed from Punjabi into other Indian languages based on a passing mention in a cookbook, which is highly dubious, the word itself is of Prakrit origin from Sanskrit present in a multitude of local languages including Punjabi (but not exclusive to it) as clearly visible in Turner's comparative dict among numerous other lingual texts and literature.
The other mentions of Punjabi origin are similarly from passing-quotes from cookbooks. There is a reason we don't use cookbooks for relying on food history which is an entirely different field of its own (the unreliability highlighted by the errant etymology in the cookbook above). Another reason specific regions aren't mentioned for dish origins from India is because they are unlikely to be exclusive to any particular one and likely originated correspondingly, most of them fall-prey to regional one-upmanship of claimant titles. I have reverted these edits for these reasons. Gotitbro (talk) 22:43, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

message: As can be seen from the previous edits, when it mentioned it being a Pakistani drink, it has also originated in the Punjab region, which is split between Pakistan and India with the majority lying in Pakistan, respectively.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swordfish31 (talk • contribs) 02:39, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pakistani should be included, it is not exclusively an Indian drink 

message: Someone had added salt in the article but according to some information sites salt is not added .
It is made with blending curd or yogurt with water or milk,sugar and a few spices or herbs. 
Hence it should be kept spices not salt according to me Self made theory (talk) 12:16, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spices or salt ? 

message: Lassi is an Indian and Pakistani summer drink. Don't forget India and Pakistan used to be the same country before 1947 (not that long ago) so obviously a lot of things like Rogan josh and Lassi drinks are very widespread in both nations. It is impossible to pinpoint the exact origins, but what we do know is that Mango lassi is a popular drink in both India and Pakistan. So you can debate the origins but nobody denies that both India and Pakistan have their versions of this delicious mango-flavored yogurt drink called Lassi. Hence the Wikipedia page should mention that it's a refreshing beverage made with yogurt, mango pulp, sugar, and sometimes cardamom that is (POPULAR IN BOTH INDIA AND PAKISTAN). Such a statement is both true and doesn't presume the origin based on some biased nationalist source. Nobody really knows the origin and so neutrality in wording is needed here. 49.180.207.59 (talk) 21:45, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

message: As of recent the word "lassi" has been used against Sikhs and Punjabis as a racial slur. I beleive such a section should be used in order to educate individuals on how it can be used with a negative connotation. HennyProtector (talk) 23:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
