1 Ingredients

Qty	Item
2 cups 480 g	Fresh ripe mango, diced
1 cup 240 ml	Plain Greek yoghurt
0.5 cup 120 ml	Whole milk
2 tbsp 30 ml	Honey or agave nectar
0.5 tsp 2 g	Ground cardamom
0.5 cup 120 ml	Ice cubes

2 Instructions

Prepare the mango by peeling and dicing it into small cubes, ensuring you remove all flesh from the pit.

Combine the mango chunks, Greek yoghurt, milk, honey, and ground cardamom in a high-speed blender.

Process the mixture on high speed for about 60 seconds until it is completely smooth and no lumps remain.

Check the consistency; if the lassi is too thick for your preference, add an additional splash of milk and blend briefly.

Add the ice cubes and pulse several times until the ice is crushed and the drink is chilled and frothy.

Pour the mixture into chilled glasses and garnish with a light dusting of cardamom powder or a few saffron strands.

·
For the most authentic flavor, look for Alphonso or Kesar mangoes which are known for their sweetness and vibrant color.
·
If using canned mango pulp instead of fresh fruit, reduce the added honey as canned pulps are usually pre-sweetened.
·
Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to serving to keep the lassi cold for longer.

? Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes, simply substitute the Greek yoghurt with coconut or soy yoghurt and use almond or coconut milk as the liquid base.

Can I use frozen mango?

Absolutely! Using frozen mango chunks makes the lassi extra thick and cold, often eliminating the need for extra ice cubes.

How long does Mango Lassi stay fresh?

It is best consumed immediately, but you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.

What if my mango isn't sweet enough?

You can easily adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, maple syrup, or a dash of sugar to suit your taste preference.
