Mango Lassi
Description
The Mango Lassi recipe combines two cups of mango chunks or puree with plain yogurt, sugar, and ice, all blended until smooth and frothy. Fresh or frozen mangoes create slight variations in consistency, with frozen fruit yielding a colder, thicker drink. The yogurt adds a creamy tang that balances the mango sweetness, and sugar helps bring out the fruit flavors. A pinch of ground cardamom can be added for a subtle aromatic note, staying true to traditional flavor profiles.
The texture is rich and creamy, with a chilled temperature from the ice and/or frozen mango. The lassi can be adjusted in thickness by adding a bit of water or milk if the yogurt is very thick. This makes it versatile for personal preference on mouthfeel.
Serve Mango Lassi fresh, chilled, ideally alongside Indian-inspired dishes or as a cooling refreshing drink on its own. It can be enjoyed any time you want a fruity yogurt beverage or a non-alcoholic alternative to juices or smoothies.
For a dairy-free version, substitute the dairy yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt to maintain the creamy texture while accommodating dietary preferences. Adjust sweetness and consistency accordingly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mango chunks (fresh or frozen, or 1 cup mango puree)
- 2 cups PLAIN yogurt 500g

- Pinch ground cardamom optional
Instructions

Notes
- Frozen mango results in a thicker, colder lassi, while fresh mango or puree yields a thinner drink.
- If the yogurt is too thick, thin the lassi with a little water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Ground cardamom is optional but adds a traditional flavor note.
- Use coconut or almond milk yogurt to make this lassi suitable for non-dairy diets.
