Mango Lassi Recipe
Description
The Mango Lassi Recipe combines fresh or frozen mango cubes with plain whole-milk yogurt and milk to achieve a creamy, luscious texture. Sugar is added to adjust sweetness, while a pinch of cardamom powder enhances its fragrance. Blending these ingredients until smooth creates a chilled, thick beverage with a gentle balance of fruitiness and dairy. Additional garnishes like saffron threads or chopped pistachios add a subtle, decorative touch.
The drink offers a refreshing complement to spicy dishes or can be enjoyed on its own as a cooling, satisfying refreshment. Its texture is creamy yet fluid, making it easy to sip and enjoy immediately after blending, or after chilling in the refrigerator.
Adjust the consistency by adding more cold milk or water, or blend with ice cubes for extra chill. Ripe, sweet mangoes contribute the key flavor, but if unavailable, frozen mango or canned mango pulp may be used. To maintain freshness, prepare just before serving or refrigerate for up to a day. Variations include using Greek yogurt with adjusted liquids, or almond milk and yogurt for a vegan version.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup Mango cubes (fresh mango peeled and chopped, choose very ripe mango or frozen mango or 1 cup of canned mango pulp)
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt whole milk yogurt, cold
- 1/2 cup milk of choice or water to adjust consistency, cold

Notes
- Use ripe mangoes for best flavor; frozen or canned mango pulp works if fresh isn’t available.
