The popular Indian drink Mango Lassi is a delicious blend of mangoes and yogurt with a touch of cardamom!
In the Indian subcontinent “Lassi” refers to any yogurt based drink. The popular ones are sweet lassi which obviously is sweetened with sugar and salty lassi which has salt and other spices in it. Mango Lassi is another popular version which has sweet mangoes blended with yogurt.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mango pulp 250 ml, use fresh if possible from 2-3 sweet mangoes else can use canned mango pulp
- 1 cup yogurt 240 ml, plain whole milk yogurt
- 2 tablespoons sugar or adjust to taste
- pistachios to garnish, optional
- saffron strands to garnish, optional
Method:
- To a large bowl, add 1 cup fresh mango pulp. I got the pulp from 2 large sweet mangoes which I blended in a blender to make it smooth. You can use canned mango pulp if you can’t find sweet mangoes.
- To the same bowl, now add yogurt. I have used plain whole milk yogurt here.
- Add the sugar.
- Blend everything until well combined. I used an immersion blender.
- Pour the mango lassi into serving glasses and chill before serving! You may garnish with pistachios, saffron strands before serving!
