This lassi marshmallow hybrid combines a classic North American snack with the traditional Indian yogurt drink lassi. Lassi is a savory yogurt drink that is slightly sour and is flavored by cumin and sometimes turmeric and other spices. It can even be mixed with fruit as is the case in this recipe.
Like all truly great fusion recipes, this one does a great job balancing out the flaws of one element with the pros of another. In this case, marshmallows for all their deliciousness can be too sweet for some people. By bringing together lassi and marshmallow, this lassi marshmallow hybrid recipe allows you to retain and enjoy the bouncy texture of marshmallows with a more balanced taste that won't leave you with a toothache.
