Here’s a simple and delicious Mango Lassi recipe—a creamy, refreshing Indian drink:
Mango Lassi Recipe
Ingredients (serves 2):
- 1 cup (165 g) ripe mango, peeled and chopped (or mango pulp)
- 1 cup (240 ml) plain yogurt
- ½ cup (120 ml) milk or water (adjust for thickness)
- 2–3 tsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of cardamom powder (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions:
- Blend ingredients: In a blender, combine mango, yogurt, milk (or water), sugar, and cardamom powder. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust consistency: Add more milk or water if you like a thinner lassi.
- Serve chilled: Pour into glasses over ice if desired. Garnish with a pinch of cardamom or saffron strands.
💡 Tips:
- Use ripe, sweet mangoes for the best flavor. Alphonso mangoes are ideal if available.
- For a vegan version, substitute yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and milk with plant-based milk.
- You can make it extra frothy by blending a little longer.
I can also give you a spiced mango lassi variation with saffron and a hint of ginger—it’s luxurious and restaurant-style.
Do you want me to give that version?
