Mango Lassi Recipe: How to make Mango Lassi

Mango Lassi – I make Mango Lassi and Plain Sweet Lassi often to beat the heat during this season in India. The months of April-May are the hottest and many summer drinks and coolers are made here to quench the thirst and also to cool the body.

April-May is also the season of mangoes in India. One can buy different varieties of mangoes in this season.

Mangoes are a favorite of many people. Till date, I have not found anyone who does not like mangoes. What better way than to combine the sweetness and hotness of mangoes with the sourness and coolness of curd.

I have added some cream in this recipe for mango lassi. You could skip that. Secondly, I have not used ice nor water. I wanted the lassi to be thick as this is how I prefer it.

Mango Lassi Ingredients:

• 2 cups of fresh chopped mango pieces. I used alphonso mangoes, but you could use any good variety of mango. You could also use frozen mango pulp.
• 1 and half cup chilled thick curd/yoghurt
• sugar to taste. this also can be skipped if the mangoes are very sweet
• 2 tbsp cream (optional)
• 1/4 tsp cardamom powder (optional) / or 1/2 tsp rose water (optional)

How to make Mango Lassi:

• Peel the mangoes and chop them.

• In a blender or mixer, puree the mangoes with sugar.

• Now add the chilled curd, cream, the cardamom powder or rose water.

• Run the blender or mixer for 1 minute or till the curd is smoothened and the mango pulp mixes well with the curd.
• Pour mango lassi in glasses and serve.

• You could also sprinkle a pinch of chaat masala or jeera powder on the mango lassi. You can serve it fresh or chill it in the refrigerator and then serve.
