Questions

Can I make Cardamom Rose Lassi dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt, 1 cup cold whole milk. Swap the yogurt for an unsweetened coconut or soy yogurt; the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I halve or double Cardamom Rose Lassi?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To make a pitcher, multiply everything and stir over ice at the end.
