Lassi

Also called: sweet lassi, yoghurt drink

A cooling, diluted yoghurt drink — more digestible and more Pitta-soothing than plain yoghurt.

How Lassi affects your doshas

In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
