While smoothies and buttermilk may seem similar, lassi has its own unique identity. Unlike smoothies, which often contain milk, ice cream, and fruit blends, lassi is primarily made with thick yogurt, giving it a richer, creamier texture. Buttermilk, on the other hand, is thinner and usually spiced lightly for digestion, whereas lassi is more filling and versatile. It can be sweet or savory, depending on preparation. At Maharaja Riyasat, lassi is prepared with traditional Indian methods, ensuring authenticity that stands apart from Western yogurt drinks. It’s not just a beverage but a cultural experience tied to heritage and flavor.
