Mango Lassi Ingredients
This mango recipe needs very few ingredients to make.
Mangoes – Use the best quality to make mango lassi. The mangoes should be ripe and juicy. I prefer using Alphonso or Ratnagiri Hapus to make mango lassi. You can also use canned mango pulp if fresh is not available.
The best mangoes to make Mango Lassi will be available in your nearest Indian store. There is no mango better than any Indian variety to make Mango Lassi and I really insist on buying the Indian variety to make Mango Lassi for best result.
In fact the canned mangoes are quite delicious and gives a very nice flavour to the lassi so do not hesitate to use them. Try to get Alphonso or Kesar mango pulp to make this lassi.
Yogurt – To make mango lassi, you have to add yogurt to it. Try to use yogurt that is fresh and not sour. Homemade curd works best to make this lassi but if it’s not possible, go for any plain yogurt that has not turned sour.
You can also make mango lassi making greek yogurt. Just thin it a bit using some milk and you are good to go.
Cardamom Powder – Avoid using packaged cardamom powder to flavour the lassi. You can crush the cardamom in a mortar and pestle and use it.
Milk – If the yogurt is too thick, the lassi might turn out quite thick and heavy. You can thin it down with some milk.
Sugar – Add sugar according to your taste. If the mangoes are very sweet, you might even skip adding it.
