kcalIngredients
1 cup ripe mango pulp (fresh or canned Alphonso preferred)
¾ cup plain yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)
¼ cup milk (adjust for desired thickness)
2–3 tbsp sugar or honey (to taste)
A pinch of cardamom powder (optional but authentic)
Ice cubes (optional)
Chopped pistachios or saffron strands for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Add mango pulp, yogurt, milk, sugar, and cardamom (if using) to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add ice cubes and blend again if you like it chilled and frothy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency as needed.
- Pour into glasses and garnish with pistachios or saffron.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use coconut or almond yogurt and plant-based milk.
- Avoid over-blending if using ice, as it can water down the lassi.
- Adjust sugar based on how sweet your mangoes are.
