📖 The Story Behind This Drink

Lassi comes from Punjab, where it’s traditionally salted or plain and sweet. Made with summer mangoes such as Alphonso, mango lassi became a restaurant staple across India and the best-known Indian drink abroad.

🌆 Where it’s enjoyed: On a hot afternoon, people mop their brows outside a roadside eatery and drink chilled lassi from clay cups.

🥕 Ingredients (serves 2)

Mango 1 (about 200g flesh)
Plain Yogurt 200g
Milk 100ml
Sugar 1–2 tbsp
Cardamom Powder a pinch
Ice 4–5 cubes

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Peel and pit the mango and roughly chop the flesh.
Blend the mango, yogurt, milk, sugar, and cardamom for about 30 seconds until smooth.
Taste and adjust the sugar to the mango’s sweetness. Add milk if it’s too thick.
Pour into glasses over ice.

💡 Tips for Success

If ripe mangoes are hard to find, use frozen mango or canned mango with a little syrup. With frozen fruit, skip the ice.
Use the yogurt as is, without straining. If it’s tart, add a little more sugar or honey.
The dairy tames the heat of spicy curry or biryani.
