Mango Lassi

Mango Lassi Recipe

Mango Lassi is our all time favorite Indian summer drink. What better way than to combine the sweetness of mangoes with the tanginess of yogurt. Make this fruity, thick, creamy, refreshing Mango Lassi recipe in less than 15 minutes with ripe mangoes, yogurt and your choice of flavorings – cardamom, saffron or rose water.

A simple mango lassi is made with fresh yogurt or Curd, sweet mangoes and a touch of cardamom. For a bit of rich and creamy taste, some cream is included.

How to make Mango Lassi

Puree Mangoes

1. Rinse, peel and chop 3 to 4 medium-sized mangoes. You need about 2 cups of chopped mangoes.

Add the chopped mangoes in a blender. Add 4 to 5 tablespoons sugar or honey or any sweetener of your choice. You can choose to omit adding any of the sweeteners if you prefer or if the mangoes are very sweet.

You can add more sugar later if the lassi has more of a sour taste.

2. Add flavorings of your choice – ½ teaspoon cardamom powder or 8 to 10 saffron strands or 1 tablespoon rose water. I added rose water.

3. Blend everything until smooth. The consistency is pulpy and mushy without any fine chunks of mangoes.

4. Add 2 cups chilled curd (dahi) or yogurt and 2 to 3 tablespoons light cream. Note that adding cream is optional.

5. Add 4 to 5 ice cubes (optional). If you want a slightly thin consistency, add some water or milk to the lassi while blending.

6. Blend until all the ingredients are mixed evenly and the yogurt has become smooth. Taste a few spoons of mango lassi. If it tastes slightly sour or tangy or is not sweet enough according to your taste, add some teaspoons of sugar and blend again.

8. Serve straightaway.

Extra Tips:

  • Enjoy Mango Lassi as is or choose to top or garnish with herbs or nuts. For herbs, mint leaves are the best flavor pairing with both mangoes and yogurt. The lassi can be topped with some chopped mango cubes as well.
  • Add some crunch to your lassi, by topping with almond slivers, pistachio slivers or chopped cashews.
  • Love chocolate? Sprinkle some chocolate shavings or grated chocolate. Chocolate and mango are again a great pairing option.
  • Top the mango lassi with some whipped cream for a richer taste and flavor.
