Beat The Heat With Refreshing Mango Lassi

New Delhi: Creamy Mango Lassi is a delicious blend of sweet mangoes, yogurt and flavoured with cardamom. You can make this homemade version in 10 minutes!

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup mango pulp 240 ml, from 2 to 3 sweet mangoes else can use canned mango pulp
• 1 cup yogurt 240 ml, plain whole milk yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk (cold) to thin out the lassi or use water
• 2-3 tablespoons sugar or adjust to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
• saffron strands to garnish, optional
• pistachios to garnish, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To a blender, add 1 cup of fresh mango puree. I pureed the flesh of 2 large sweet mangoes in a blender to get this fresh mango puree. You can also use canned mango pulp if you can’t find sweet mangoes or they are not in season.
2. To the blender now add the yogurt. I have used plain whole-milk yogurt here.
3. Followed by milk (I have used whole milk). I add this to thin out the lassi a bit. Also, add sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder.
4. Blend for around 60 seconds until everything is well combined. Pour the lassi into serving glasses and top with saffron strands (optional). You can also garnish with nuts. Serve immediately!
