Not every lassi is sweet. Masala lassi is the savoury one, a chilled yoghurt drink seasoned with cumin and warm spice rather than fruit and sugar, and it is what a lot of people reach for when a sweet drink would be too much alongside a heavily spiced meal.

Yes Gees Masala Lassi comes ready to pour. Keep it cold, shake it, and serve it in a tall glass with ice.

It works best with the food it was made for. A rich curry, a plate of samosas straight out of the fryer, or anything with real chilli heat. The yoghurt takes the edge off the spice in a way water never manages, which is exactly why it has been served this way for generations.

Find it in our fridge at Curry Corner in North Melbourne, alongside the sweet mango and milk badam varieties.
