Equipment

  • Blender (1 unit)
  • Knife: 1 unit
  • Cutting Board: 1 unit
  • Measuring cup – 1 unit
  • Glasses for serving – 2 units

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe Mango about 1 cup of mango chunks
  • 1 cup Plain Yogurt or plant-based yogurt for vegan version
  • 1/2 cup Milk or water for lighter version
  • 1 –2 tbsp Sugar or Honey optional, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cardamom optional, for flavor
  • Ice cubes – 4–5 pieces optional, for chill

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Mango: Peel and pit the mango, then cut it into chunks. Place the mango chunks in the blender.
  • Add Yogurt & Milk: Add 1 cup of plain yogurt and 1/2 cup of milk to the blender. If using water, substitute milk with water for a lighter consistency.
  • Sweeten the Lassi: Add 1–2 tbsp of sugar or honey to taste. Adjust the sweetness based on the mango's ripeness.
  • Blend: Blend everything until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker texture, add more yogurt or ice.
  • Adjust Consistency & Taste: If the Lassi is too thick, add a little more milk or water. Taste and add extra sweetness or cardamom, if desired.
  • Serve: Pour into glasses, add ice cubes (if desired), and garnish with a pinch of cardamom or a mint sprig.
  • Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, creamy Mango Lassi!

Notes

  • Sweetness Level: Mangoes vary in sweetness. Taste the Lassi before serving and adjust the sugar or honey accordingly.
  • Vegan Version: Use plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond) and a non-dairy milk (almond, coconut, or oat milk) for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Frozen Mangoes: If you’re using frozen mangoes, you may not need ice cubes, and the texture will be even thicker and creamier.
  • Spices: Cardamom and saffron are traditional additions to Mango Lassi for extra flavor. You can also experiment with cinnamon or a small pinch of ginger for a spiced version.
