Mango Lassi
Mango Lassi
Lassi is a popular Indian drink prepared with yogurt and flavoured with spices or mixed with fruit to make a refreshing, cooling drink. For mango lassi mango puree, yogurt, milk, sugar, saffron and cardamom are blended together. Delightfully refreshing and bursting with flavour- this recipe is a perfect accompaniment to any meal or just on its own.
When it’s mango season, I prepare lassi very often and usually use Alfonso mango, but any other sweet fragrant mango works too. I would highly recommend using any ripe Indian mango as they are fragrant and deliciously sweet making a wonderful lassi or you can use canned puree.
The combination of mango, yogurt and milk means this drink is a delicious blend of nutrients. Mangoes are rich in fibre, vitamins (especially A and C) and minerals along with nutritious yogurt and milk.
