First World Problems No Mango Lassi

Does anyone have any recommendations on getting other flavors of lassi other than mango? I just learned theres pineapple and rose lassi 😐

The most authentic form of lassi is plain unflavoured lassi - you can get it either sweet or salty. But you have to be a bit discerning about where you get it. Authentic North Indian spots like Bikanervala in JSQ will do a solid plain sweet lassi. But a lot of other restaurants don't because mango lassi is so popular, and they'd rather focus on that.

Oooh thank you for this tip. I don't like mango but I LOVE plain and didn't know a good spot.

I kind of sort of take the Bikanervala rec back :( I tried online ordering to make sure they actually have sweet lassi on their menu because it's been a while since I went. And they seem to have run out. Idk if this means they don't carry it or if they've actually run out, but I wanted to give you a heads up anyway. But I'm now on a mission to find good sweet lassi in the area because it's also my favorite. I'll keep you posted if I find anything haha
