Mango Lassi
Sweet, luxuriously creamy, refreshing, and utterly delicious, whip up this Mango Lassi in just 5 minutes and enjoy it with your favorite Indian dishes or as a stand-alone drink!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups diced ripe fresh or frozen mango (about 2-3 medium sized mangoes), see blog post on "How to Choose a Ripe Mango" and "How to Cut a Mango"
- 2 cups plain yogurt (I recommend full-fat but you can use light or non-fat it preferred)
- 4-6 tablespoons granulated sugar or 2-3 tablespoons honey , or according to taste (start with less, taste, and add more as desired)
- or alternative sweetener
- 1/2 cup milk
- pinch of ground cardamom (start with less, taste, and add more as desired)
- ice cubes , optional if you want a thicker consistency (you can also freeze the mango in advance)
Instructions
- In a blender, add the mango, yogurt, sugar or honey, ground cardamom and milk. Blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. Taste and add more sweetener and/or cardamom if desired. If you prefer it thinner, add a little more milk. For a creamier texture, add some more yogurt. (If you want a thicker, more milkshake-like consistency or do not want to wait to chill the mango lassi before serving, blend in some ice.) Chill the mango lassi in the fridge until nice and cold. Will keep for up to 24 hours (give it a stir if contents have separated).
- To serve, pour the mango lassi into serving glasses. You can garnish it with any of the following: a sprinkle of ground cardamom, cinnamon, a few strands of saffron, a dollop of whipped cream, and/or a sprig of fresh mint.
