Mango Lassi
A popular and incredibly refreshing Indian beverage, Mango Lassi is a creamy, sweet, and tangy blend of fresh mango pulp, yogurt, and a touch of sugar, creating a velvety smooth and vibrant drink.
Prepare mango
Ensure 0.75 cup (150g) of mango chunks are ready. If using fresh mango, peel and dice a ripe mango. If using frozen, no prep is needed.
💡 Tips:
- •Ripe fresh mangoes provide the best flavor. If using frozen mango, you might need slightly less ice or water.
Combine ingredients in blender
In a blender, combine the mango chunks, 0.5 cup (120g) plain yogurt, 0.25 cup (60 ml) cold milk (or water), 1-2 teaspoons granulated sugar (or honey), and 1 pinch ground cardamom (if using). If using fresh mango and prefer a thicker lassi, add 1 serving of ice.
💡 Tips:
- •Adjust the amount of sugar/honey based on the sweetness of your mango and personal preference. For a thinner lassi, use more milk/water.
Blend until smooth
Secure the lid and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Ensure no mango chunks remain.
💡 Tips:
- •Blend thoroughly to achieve a velvety texture. Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Serve
Pour the Mango Lassi into a chilled glass. Garnish with 1 thin mango slice or a tiny pinch of ground cardamom, if desired. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •Mango Lassi is best enjoyed immediately after blending when it's cold and fresh.
- 💡For an extra thick lassi, use less milk or a thicker yogurt like Greek yogurt.
- 💡You can add a few saffron strands during blending for a subtle aromatic note and richer color.
- 💡To boost protein, use Greek yogurt or add a scoop of unflavored protein powder.
- 💡If mangoes are not in season, high-quality canned mango pulp can be used, adjusting sweetener as necessary.
