Thick curd blended with cucumber, mint, roasted cumin, black salt and sattu. It is halfway between a raita and a lassi and makes a surprisingly complete light dinner: the curd and sattu give 13 g of protein, and there is only 12 g of sugar, all from the milk and cucumber. Eat it with a spoon or drink it from a glass when it is too hot to cook.

Ingredients
Method
- 1
Add the curd, cucumber, sattu, mint, cumin, black salt, green chilli and lemon juice to the blender jar.
- 2
Blend on high for 40 seconds until smooth and pale green; the sattu should have disappeared completely.
- 3
Add the ice, pulse twice and pour into a large glass. Top with a pinch more roasted cumin and drink or spoon it within 15 minutes, before the sattu thickens it further.
Tips
- For a more filling dinner, eat it alongside 2 small rotis or a bowl of boiled chana.
- Half a cup of soaked poha blended in turns it into a thicker, breakfast-style bowl.
Swaps
- No sattu? Use 2 tbsp roasted chana powder (ground in the dry jar): the same thing, made at home.
