Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ripe mango, chopped (fresh or frozen works great)
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tsp honey or sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- A pinch of ground cardamom (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Combine: Add the mango, yogurt, milk, and your sweetener of choice to a blender. If you’re using it, sprinkle in the pinch of cardamom.
- Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Keep going until you have a smooth, creamy, and chunk-free consistency.
- Taste: This is the secret step! Pause the blender and give it a quick taste. If it’s not sweet enough, add a bit more honey or sugar. If it’s too thick, add another splash of milk. Blend for 10 more seconds to mix everything in.
- Serve: Pour into two tall glasses. For a finishing touch, garnish with an extra sprinkle of cardamom and enjoy right away.
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: This lassi is fantastic on its own, but it’s traditionally served with spicy Indian food. It’s the perfect cooling companion to a flavorful curry or biryani.
- Tips & Tricks:
- For the thickest, frostiest lassi, use frozen mango chunks. It chills the drink perfectly without needing ice.
- For a richer, more dessert-like lassi, use full-fat or Greek yogurt.
- A tiny squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end will make the mango flavor pop!
- Storage: Got leftovers? Pour them into a sealed container or jar and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It’s normal for it to separate a bit—just give it a good stir or shake before serving.
