Sweet Mango Lassi

This is best made when good fresh mangoes are in season. When they are not, very good-quality canned pulp from India’s excellent Alphonso mangoes may be used instead. Most Indian grocers sell this.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt (preferably Greek or acidophilus yogurt)
1 cup chopped peeled ripe mango (canned Alphonso slices or pulp may be substituted)
4 cardamom pods
2 tablespoons extra-fine sugar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put all the ingredients plus 1/2 cup cold water into a blender and blend for 2 minutes.

    Step 2

    Check for desired sweetness, adding more sugar if needed. Strain and serve as is or with a couple of ice cubes.
