Mango Lassi

Mango lassi is a rich, creamy combination of  mango and yogurt, and I personally love it with a generous flavour of cardamom.

This popular drink is very easy to make, specially if you use store-bought mango pulp.  I usually make this with Deep kesar mango pulp. You can use fresh mangoes too - just peel them and use the flesh.

The yogurt I used was fairly thick so I added some water, but you need not add water if you find the consistency good enough. Also, please adjust the sugar accordingly - some mangoes can be very sweet and may not need much sugar.

Ingredients :
2 cups mango pulp
3 cups yogurt (curd)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup + 1 or 2 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp cardamom powder

Method:
Blend mango pulp and yogurt along with milk. Add water if necessary. Add sugar, adjusting according to taste. Blend well. Sprinkle cardamom and blend for a few more seconds.

Serve chilled, with a dash of cardamom powder.
