Mango lassi recipe with mango pulp with step by step photos: 4 ingredients and 5 minutes are required to make this thick, creamy, utterly delicious mango lassi.
Lassi is the most loved traditional Indian beverage prepared by blending yogurt, sugar, and spices.
Indians’ love for lassi is beyond words and I am no exception. I make lassi quite often. Especially plain sweet lassi and mango lassi. Sometimes I also make masala chaas, the savory yogurt drink.
This mango lassi recipe with mango pulp can be consumed as a refreshing drink or after-meal dessert. Even it can be served as breakfast.
Mango lassi is the most popular fruit version of lassis. The secret of a perfect mango lassi depends on the consistency of the curd and sweetness of the mango. You just need a few simple ingredients and you are good to go. Now without doing further ado let’s discuss the ingredients.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Mango: Always use fresh, sweet, fiberless mangoes. If fresh mango is not available, you can use frozen or canned mango.
- Yogurt: Use perfectly set, plain, fresh curd/yogurt for the best result. You can even use greek yogurt. Traditionally whole milk yogurt is used to make lassi. However low-fat yogurt could be used too. To make a vegan mango lassi use dairy-free plant-based milk yogurt.
- Milk: Milk (or water) is used to thin out the lassi. I prefer milk as it balances the flavor, and adds a creamy base to it (a must for a good lassi). You can use whole or low-fat dairy milk. Use vegan milk to make it vegan friendly.
- Sweetener: Traditionally lassi is made with sugar. However, sugar could be replaced with honey, maple syrup, agave, or stevia. You can even prepare this mango lassi without adding any extra sweetener by reducing the proportion of yogurt to mango pulp.
- Flavor: Optionally a pinch of freshly crushed cardamom could be added to enhance the flavor. As cardamom goes wonderfully with mango.
Mango Lassi Preparations Step by Step
- Put mango and sugar together in a blender and blend until the mixture combines.
- Add yogurt, milk, and crushed cardamom. Blend again until the mixture turns smooth.
- Pour the lassi in the serving glasses, garnish with your choice of dry fruits or chopped mangoes, and serve immediately.
