Mango Lassi Recipe - Sweet Lassi

Mango Lassie - Indian mango/yogurt drink

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 and 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 or black pepper powder are quite yummy though they make your teeth sour.

Use fresh, naturally sweet curd (yogurt).
Adding milk makes the lassi more frothy and thick.
You may add water along with or instead of milk. But remember, ripe mango lassi tastes better with milk.
Sugar quantity will depend on the sweetness of mangoes, freshness and sweetness of the curd. And also on your sweet tooth. I usually do not add any sugar/sweetener to mango lassi.
You may add a scoop of ice cream while blending too. Tastes great and gives good consistency.
Mango lassi stays in the fridge for 1-2 days.
