Mango lassi is a refreshing, creamy yoghurt drink perfect for the summer heat. It comes from the Indian subcontinent and is made with ripe mangoes, yoghurt, sugar, and a pinch of cardamom, which makes it delicious and nutritious. Enjoy it cold alongside very spicy meals or as a snack. Easily whip up this yummy drink with this easy Mango Lassi recipe. Take juicy, ripe mangoes; these may be fresh or frozen. Peel and chop the mangoes. Then, blend it with plain yoghurt and a little milk or water to get the desired consistency. If you like your drink to be a little sweet, then add sugar to taste, depending on how sweet the mangoes are. Finally, add a pinch of cardamom to the flavour profile. An added warm, aromatic touch completes the picture. The recipe for Mango Lassi can be made in a variety of ways. Experiment freely using other ingredients, like honey, mint, or even a splash of lime juice to give that much-needed zing. If you would like it thicker, don't add so much liquid and increase the portion of yoghurt that accompanies it. If you want a lighter refreshment, add a little more milk. Serve this chilled in tall glasses, garnished with a little cardamom or a slice of mango on the rim. That's another creamy drink that not only tastes good but also has probiotics in the yoghurt, so one can pretty much enjoy it without too many guilty feelings. It can be the perfect accompaniment for those long, sultry days of summer or a delectable accompaniment to meals - the Mango Lassi will never disappoint your taste buds!

Cooking steps for Mango Lassi
- 1Mango lassi is perhaps one of the coolest, creamiest drinks to capture the spirit of summer.
- 2Begin with this yummy drink by peeling two ripe mangoes into small pieces.
- 3Use sweet and ripe mangoes to get the best flavour.
- 4Chop the mangoes, measure out one cup of this fruit, and have it ready to transform it into an exclusive drink.
- 5Now, take a blender and add one cup of chopped mangoes to the prepared one.
- 6To this, put in one cup of chilled plain yoghurt that is also known as dahi, which gives the creamy texture and a tangy taste to the lassi and helps counterbalance the sweetness of the mango.
- 7Now, put in half a cup of chilled milk, which will enhance the smoothness of the drink. For that sugarish taste, add two tablespoons of sugar; adjust this according to your preference.
- 8Finally, add a quarter teaspoon of cardamom powder.
- 9Such aromatic spice makes the drink not only warm up but also elevates the overall flavour profile of the lassi.
- 10Add all the ingredients to a blender and get the mixture smooth and creamy.
- 11It has to get to the consistency of thick but drinkable; if it's too thick, just add a little more milk and blend again.
- 12The bright colour of the mixture, already a magnificent yellow, hints at the tropical flavours for those who can't wait.
- 13Once your smooth mango lassi is just perfect, it is time to serve it.
- 14Pour the smooth and creamy mango mix into the serving glasses in such a way that each glass can be filled with the mixture quite generously.
- 15To make it look really appetizing and stylish, you can garnish the whole serving part of the lassi with a few strands of saffron or a sprinkling of chopped nuts, like pistachios and almonds.
- 16This step is optional, but it does give your drink an added visual beauty and a textural crunch. Best served chilled, the mango lassi is a cool drink on sweltering days.
- 17It is not only appetizing but also full of nutrients; the mangoes will supply vitamins A and C, whereas the yoghurt provides probiotics that help digest the food.
- 18Besides, cardamom, apart from refreshing the flavour, contains some health benefits, which include aiding digestion and fighting inflammation.
- 19Mango lassi is highly versatile; it can be a snack, a dessert, or a side with spicy meals because it cools down the spices with the creaminess.
- 20Whether it's a summer gathering after a spicy meal or a free splurge to cool down on a hot day, you can bet your boots it's going to be a smashing hit.
- 21The drink is built of such delectable sweetness when combining sweet mangoes, creamy yoghurt, and aromatic spices.
