Mango Lassi Recipe – A Taste of India in Every Sip

Mango lassi is a cool, creamy Indian yoghurt drink made with ripe mango, yoghurt and a little cardamom. It is refreshing with spicy food and takes only a few minutes to blend.

Ingredients

• 1 cup ripe mango flesh, chopped
• 1 cup plain yoghurt
• 1/2 cup chilled water or milk
• 1–2 tablespoons sugar or honey, to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• Ice, optional

Method

1. Add mango, yoghurt, water, sweetener and cardamom to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth. Add a splash more water if too thick.
3. Taste and adjust the sweetness, then blend in ice if serving immediately.
4. Pour into glasses and garnish with cardamom or chopped pistachio.

Tips

Use sweet, fully ripe mangoes and thick yoghurt. For a vegan version, use unsweetened coconut or soy yoghurt. Keep the drink covered in the refrigerator and enjoy it the same day.
