I love mangoes and I love this mango Lassi Recipe. Mangoes are available only during summer season, I use them, raw mangoes as well as ripe mangoes in my cooking.

Raw Mango Chutney, Mango rice, Kairi Panha(raw mango drink), all made with raw mango are inseparable part of the summer cooking. Raw mangoes with a little salt and chili powder are quite yummy though they make your teeth sour.

Ripe mangoes are eaten by themselves or many dishes are made with them. Many deserts and sweets are made with ripe mangoes such as amrakhand, mango ice cream, mango burfi etc.

This mango lassi recipe is one such ripe mango recipe. Mango Lassi is also Spelt as Mango Lassie.

Mango lassi ( also spelt as mango lassie) a quick recipe. It is a very satisfying cool drink in the hot summer afternoon. It can be served as a snack or along with or after dinner. It is a nutritious drink.

You can squeeze out the pulp from the mangoes or can cut it in the way shown in the image to take out the pulp.

There is no artificial flavor or color added to this. The mangoes you choose give it a natural flavor and color. So choose your mangoes with care. Select only ripe and sweet mangoes.
