About Mango Lassi
Mango Lassi is a delicious refreshing summer drink. This Mango Lassi can be prepared in just 10 mins if you have all the ingredients ready. Mango Lassi is a great variation to our regular Sweet Lassi. Though my favorite is the plain lassi with cardamom flavour this Mango Lassi has become my recent addiction with a fruity twist.

Mango Lassi Ingredients
- Mangoes : Mangoes are seasonal and are available commonly in summer in India. Mangoes are to be enjoyed in the season as they are the tastier ones. Alphonso is the recommended variety for tasty, thicky & colourful juices, milkshakes and any beverage. However you can use other mangoes like Banganapalli or Neelam or Senthuram variety.
- Yogurt : Use thick curd, you can use homemade fresh curd too. Make sure it is not sour.
- Milk : Use any fresh milk boiled, cooled and chilled.
- Sweetner : I have used regular white sugar for this recipe. You can try with honey, condensed milk, brown sugar & cane sugar – although they significantly impact the taste of the drink.
- Flavours & Garnish : Garnish with chopped nuts – say badam, pistachios, cashews or a mix of chopped nuts, which will enrich the drink in taste & feel. You can even either use cardamom or saffron or rose essnece for flavouring but use any one.

Expert Tips
- Use mangoes that are sweet, ripe and juicy. If your mangoes are not sweet then you need to add more sugar.
- Add sugar according to the sweetness of mangoes.
- Use thick fresh yogurt / curd for best flavour and taste. It should not be sour.
- Adjust water and icecubes accordingly to the thickness you want.
- Garnish with either chopped nuts or fresh mint leaves. In my case, Mint leaves were already over so had to go with nuts. Anything with mangoes can it go wrong?! So enjoy the drink with your choice of topping and flavouring.
Serving & Storage
Enjoy Mango Lassi as such without any garnish , it tastes great that way too. If you prefer you can garnish with chopped nuts or saffron or a tiny mint sprig and serve.
Mango Lassi keeps well for 1 or 2 days in fridge but I recommend consuming it fresh to enjoy the best taste.
Variations
You can change flavouring as per your preference. You can use any one listed below:
- Saffron
- Cardamom
- Rose Essence
- Mint leaves
- Chocolate
- Kewra water
- Nutmeg
FAQs

Yes very much you can use water instead of milk but lassi will be less creamier.

Yogurt is the main ingredient for any lassi so it cannot be skipped. Mango Lassi cannot be made without yogurt.
