Salty Lassi

Back in 1930, India was a British Colony — and Indians were forced by law to buy British-made salt. Gandhi wasn’t pleased… so he decided to march to the ocean and illegally make his own. The act touched off a massive nationwide protest, and set the stage for India’s Independence. This week marks the anniversary of the “Salt March” — which we celebrate with our first-ever non-alcoholic drink recipe, in honor of the legendary teetotaler.

RECIPE as told to DPD by Heather Carlucci-Rodriguez owner of Lassi in New York, NY

  • 4 cups of yogurt
  • 1 tsp. of indian black salt (or whatever salt you have around)
