About Mango Lassi

Mango Lassi is a summer beverage made by blending sweet mangoes along with thick curd, sugar and ice cubes This Mango Lassi can be prepared in just 5 minutes 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 flavor this Mango Lassi has become my recent addiction with a fruity twist. Mango Lassi is a creamy thick beverage to be enjoyed anytime especially during summer when mangoes are available.

In Indian subcontinent Lassi means a yogurt based drink. Lassi is made by blending yogurt, water along with salt / sweet. Traditionally Lassi is made using only yogurt later on many variations / flavors have evolved. Mango Lassi is one such fruity variation to Sweet Lassi.

Mango Lassi Ingredients

Mangoes – Mangoes are seasonal and are available commonly in summer in India. Alphonso is the recommended variety for tasty, thicky & colorful juices, milkshakes or for any such beverages.
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.
Sweetener – 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.
Flavors & Garnish – Garnish with chopped nuts – say almonds, pistachios, cashews or a mix of chopped nuts, which will enrich the taste of the drink. You can even use cardamom or saffron or rose essence for flavoring.

Expert Tips

Use mangoes that are sweet, ripe and juicy. If your mangoes are not sweet then you need to add more sugar.
The color of the mango lassi purely depends on the mango variety.
Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of mangoes.
Use thick fresh yogurt / curd for best flavor and taste. It should not be sour.
Adjust water and ice cubes 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 flavoring.
You can change flavoring as per your preference. You can use any one : Saffron or Cardamom or Rose Essence or Mint leaves or Chocolate or Kewra water.

Serving and 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.

FAQS

1.What is Mango Lassi made of?

Mango Lassi is made by blending mangoes along with yogurt, milk, sugar, icecubes and any flavouring of your choice.

Yes very much you can use water instead of milk but lassi will be less creamier and will have an impact in taste.

3.What can be used to replace curd / yogurt?

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