Mango Lassi is a creamy, refreshing yogurt-based drink made with ripe mangoes, yogurt, and a hint of cardamom. Perfect for cooling off on hot days or as a complement to spicy meals, this tropical drink is naturally sweet and tangy. Quick and easy to prepare, Mango Lassi is a must-try beverage for anyone who loves vibrant, fruity flavors.

Ingredients

  • 1 large ripe mango (peeled and chopped)

  • 1 cup plain yogurt (preferably full-fat for creaminess)

  • 1/2 cup milk (or any plant-based milk like almond or coconut milk)

  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or sugar (to taste)

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, for flavor)

  • Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled version)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Mango:
    Peel and chop the ripe mango into chunks. Make sure the mango is ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.

  • Blend the Ingredients:
    In a blender, combine the chopped mango, yogurt, milk, honey (or sugar), and cardamom (if using).

  • Blend Until Smooth:
    Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the lassi is too thick, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.

  • Add Ice (Optional):
    If you prefer a colder, more refreshing lassi, add a few ice cubes and blend again until the ice is crushed and the lassi is chilled.

  • Taste and Adjust Sweetness:
    Taste the lassi and add more honey or sugar if you prefer it sweeter.

  • Serve:
    Pour the mango lassi into glasses and serve immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of cardamom or a few mint leaves if desired.
