Mango Lassi
Mango Lassi
Pronounced “LUH-see,” the drink has many variations from sweet, salty, minty and even spicy. Mango lassi blends sweet mangos with plain yogurt, sugar, milk and ice. Some people omit the milk entirely and use ice-cold water to thin out the mixture, but adding milk makes for a richer, silkier drink.

Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon white sugar, or to taste
- 3/4 cup cup fresh mangoes or mango pulp
- 1/4 cup ice cubes
Directions
- First chop up the mangos — if you’re not familiar with cutting a mango, they have a large pit inside that needs to be discarded, but you should squeeze it out like a drenched towel into a bowl so you’re not wasting any mango flesh.
- Next place the mangoes, yogurt, milk and ice in a blender.
- Puree until smooth.
- Taste the natural sweetness of the lassi before deciding how much sugar to add.
- Add a couple extra ice cubes to each glass before serving.
