Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups mango cubes ((2 large fresh and ripe mangos, peeled and chopped))
  • 1½ cups plain yogurt
  • 2-3 tablespoon organic cane sugar or to taste
  • A pinch of cardamom powder
  • ½ cup ice
  • 5-6 pistachios chopped for garnishing ((optional))
  • A few saffron strands for garnishing ((optional))

Instructions
 

  • Add mango cubes, yogurt, sugar, cardamom powder, and ice into the blender.
  • Blend until everything is mixed well and has a smooth consistency.
  • If you want a thinner consistency of mango lassi, add more ice or cold water. You can also add some milk if you prefer.
  • Pour mango lassi into the serving glasses.

Garnishing and Serving Suggestions

  • Pour the chilled mango lassi into the serving glasses and serve as it is.
  • Or garnish the mango lassi with chopped pistachios and saffron strands.
  • Garnish the mango lassi with mint leaves or chopped almonds.
  • You can also add some more mango chunks on the top.
  • For a dessert-like treat, top the mango lassi with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Storing and Freezing

  • This lassi can be refrigerated for up to a day. However, you can freeze the mango lassi in the popsicle molds and enjoy it as frozen yogurt.

Notes

  1. Mangos: Use ripe and sweet mangos, so there is no need to add a whole lot of sugar. Also, choose mangos that are not too fibrous. You can use your favorite type of mangos, but they should be juicy, sweet, and pulpy.
  2. Yogurt: I prefer to use whole milk yogurt to make lassi for a rich and creamy taste. I have used plain homemade yogurt, but you can use store-bought or Greek yogurt. If using Greek or thick yogurt, add more ice or cold water to get the right consistency. You can also add milk to thin the consistency if you prefer. Whichever yogurt you use, make sure it is not too sour.
  3. Sweetener: I have added organic cane sugar to make the lassi sweeter, but you can also use other sweeteners of choice. Instead of sugar, we can also use honey, maple syrup, agave, or coconut sugar.
  4. Flavors / Spices: To add any flavor to the mango lassi, is optional but adding a pinch of flavor enhances the taste of lassi. I have added cardamom powder, but the other options are vanilla, rose water, or saffron.
