A creamy, refreshing, and fragrant mango lassi, true to the Indian classic. Ripe mango, yogurt, and a touch of cardamom create a sweet, tangy, and highly thirst-quenching drink.
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe mangoes
- 500 g plain whole milk yogurt
- 200 ml whole or reduced-fat milk
- 30 g granulated sugar
- 1 pinch ground cardamom
- 8 pieces ice cubes
Method
- Wash and peel the mangoes, then cut the flesh away from the pit, removing any fibrous parts if necessary.
- Place the mango flesh in a blender and blend until you get a smooth, glossy puree with no visible chunks.
- Add the plain yogurt and blend again until the texture becomes thick, homogenous, and creamy.
- Pour in the milk gradually, blending between each addition, until you achieve a fluid but still coating consistency.
- Add the sugar and cardamom, then blend briefly to distribute the flavors without heating the mixture.
- Taste the lassi: it should be refreshing, sweet, slightly tangy, and highly fragrant with mango; adjust only if the fruit lacks ripeness.
- Add the ice cubes and blend just enough to chill and lighten the texture without making it watery.
- Serve immediately in well-chilled bowls or glasses, with a smooth and frothy surface.
