This is one of South Asia’s favorite drinks and its absolutely yummy. I have grown up drinking Lassi in all forms. Mango Lassi is an all time favorite but non-summer options also include sweet or salty Lassi. Which as their name suggests all you have to do is follow the recipe below and add in sugar or salt instead.
Ingredients
- 3 green cardamom pods , optional
- 2 ripe mangos
- 500 g low-fat natural yoghurt or greek yoghurt if you would like a thicker consistency
- 100 g ice cubes
- runny honey
Method
- If you are using the cardamom pods, then crush the inside black seeds to a fine powder, using the crushing implement of the food processor or an old fashion pestle and mortle if you have one.
- Peel the mangos so that you get the juicy flesh. Then cut the juicy flesh off the ripe mangos.
- Place the flesh and any juices into a liquidizer with the yoghurt, ice cubes, 1 tablespoon of honey and the ground cardamoms.
Blitz until smooth, have a taste, and add a little more honey, if needed. - Add more water, if you a more runny consistency.
- Top with a few thin slices of mango as a a decoration and serve freshly made.
