Saffron Lassi Kesar Lassi Recipes

You've had a mango lassi, I've had a mango lassi, we've all had a mango lassi. *Yawn.* But, have you ever had a saffron lassi? Aside from the fact that saffron always tints food with its beautiful yellow hue, it has the most unique taste and aroma-it's hard to compare it to anything else! Maybe that's why it's so precious (in addition to the incredibly laborious agriculture practice associated with saffron, which includes farmers picking each thread individually from saffron flowers). It really can't be replicated. I love the way this saffron lassi tastes because it reminds me of my mom's shrikhand-a strained yogurt dish, flavored with cardamom, saffron, pistachios, and sugar. It is sweet, aromatic, and not to mention, gorgeous! Make this dairy-free Saffron Lassi to bring some of those shrikhand flavors into your home.
