🥭 Creamy Mango Lassi Recipe
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2
Ingredients
-
1 cup Ripe mango pulp (freshly cubed or canned)
-
1 cup Plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works for a thicker texture)
-
1/2 cup Milk (or water to adjust consistency)
-
1-2 tablespoons Honey or sugar (adjust based on mango sweetness)
-
A pinch of Ground cardamom (optional, for authentic aroma)
-
Ice cubes (optional, for serving chilled)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Mango: If using fresh mango, peel and cube the fruit, discarding the pit. Ensure the mango is fully ripe for the best flavor.
-
Blend: Combine the mango pulp, yogurt, milk, sweetener, and cardamom in a blender.
-
Liquefy: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
-
Adjust: Check the thickness. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it sweeter, add more honey/sugar and pulse again.
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass. You can garnish with a few small mango cubes on top, just like in your photo!
Tips for the Perfect Lassi
-
The Mango Matters: Use varieties like Alphonso or Honey (Ataulfo) mangoes for a vibrant orange color and a “fiber-free” smooth texture.
-
Dairy-Free Option: You can easily swap the yogurt for coconut yogurt and the milk for almond or coconut milk.
-
Chill Your Glass: For the best experience, let the lassi sit in the fridge for 10 minutes or serve in a chilled glass.
