MANGO LASSI

Creamy, frothy mango lassi

Lassi is a popular, traditional yogurt-based summer drink from northern part of India. Lassi is a blend of yogurt, water, spices and sometimes fruit. Lassi can be sweet or savory. 

"Salted lassi" or "lassi" is a savory drink sometimes flavored with ground and roasted cumin. "Sweet lassi", however contains sugar or fruits instead of spices. Today I am showing the process of making mango lassi - a kind of sweet lassi. You can even make plain sweet lassi by omitting mangoes. Other famous variety of sweet lassi is 'rose lassi'. 

Ingredients :-

3/4 cup plain yogurt

1 ripe mango, diced

salt,  just a pinch

1-2 tbsp sugar 

2-3 tbsp milk

Blender 

Rich mango lassi

Process :-

1.  The quantity of sugar really depends on the tanginess of yogurt, you can adjust it accordingly. Keep aside a spoonful of mango cubes for garnish. We have added a pinch of salt just to bring out the flavor of the fruit.

2.  Blend all the above ingredients into a blender till a rich frothy, thick, smooth mixture is formed. When the mango gets crushed with the yogurt, a nice orangish golden colored lassi is formed.

3.  Pour it into a tall glass and garnish the lassi with remaining mango cubes. Enjoy the taste of heaven !!
