How genuine was it really?

This is a question mainly directed to Asian Mylotters but I thought I just HAVE to ask you So I have bought a Strawberry Lassi for lunch in the canteen. It was not my first Lassi drink but it was the first on many years. I studied the ingredients to find out it's fruit with yoghurt, cream and water. Funny to stretch the yoghurt with a combination of cream and water. Why not use more yoghurt or milk? Mhh... so I was wondering how genuine or "real" this "recipe" is? And is it common to drink a strawberry lassi? I have only seen mango lassi in the past. Thanks in advance for any clarification, let the discussion begin

If we don't add cream and water we will never get the desired consistency

I looked online for any recipes/demonstrations by Indians. One used just yoghurt and semi-skimmed milk, another used yoghurt and water (no milk) and a third says either water or milk (besides the yoghurt, of course). It's all about the consistency, it seems, since it should be frothy and pour easily. There are as many flavours as any inventive person can think up, of course (including savoury lassi made with ground cumin, salt, cardamom seeds &c. - sounded quite disgusting to me!) but the common ones seem to be mango and papaya.

There is a real Indian Restaurant not far from us, they usually serve a mango lassi. It's made with yogurt and water, no milk.

It looks like a smoothie to me. Was it tasty?

As I commented below, the local Indian restaurant serves the Mango Lassi that is made with yogurt, water and mango. I do the same when I prepare a lassi at home.
