Ingredients

Lassi

  • 2 Ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cups Plain whole-milk yogurt
  • ½ cup Cold whole milk
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • ¼ tsp Cardamom powder
  • 1 pinch Saffron
  • 6 Ice cubes

Method

  1. Blend the mango. Blend the mango with the sugar and cardamom until completely smooth.
  2. Add the yogurt. Add the yogurt, milk and ice and blend just until frothy. Taste and add more sugar if the mango was tart.
  3. Serve. Pour into chilled glasses and crumble a few saffron strands on top.

Tips

Out of season, use 1 1/2 cups tinned Alphonso pulp and leave out the sugar, since it's already sweetened.
