A favorite drink at Pakistani restaurants, they’re easy to make at home. Lassi come in all kinds of flavors, some are salty, some are sweet, some have mint, some have fruit. A mango lassi is basically a yogurt based mango milkshake or smoothie. You can use either canned mango pulp or cubed fresh or frozen mango. If you use fresh, you’ll want to use a ripe, sweet mango.
If your mango isn’t ripe enough it will be too tart and you’ll have to add more sugar or honey than you would like. A little ground cardamom sprinkled on top is perfect!
Ingredients:
- A cup chopped very ripe mango (see how to peel and chop mango), frozen chopped mango, or canned mango pulp
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 teaspoons honey or sugar, more or less to taste
- Dash ground cardamom, optional
Ice, optional
How to Make Mango Lassi:
Add ingredients to blender: Put mango, yogurt, milk, sugar and cardamom into a blender and blend for 2 minutes. If you want a more milkshake consistency to the lassi and it’s a hot day, either blend in some ice as well or serve over ice cubes.
Serve: Pour lassi into a glass and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of ground cardamom to serve. The lassi can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
This is the simplest recipe to make mango lassi at home in 10 minutes and have 2 servings.
