Mango Lassi is a sweet drink which has yogurt, milk, mango and sugar(if needed) and flavored with cardamom powder. Lassi is usually served thick. It’s a rich drink, essentially like a smoothie made of mango and yogurt being the main ingredients.
To beat the summer heat make these delicious mango lassi. It’s very cooling in nature and best during hot Indian summers. The sweetness of the mangoes and the coolness of the yogurt makes it a favorite summer drink for all.

For flavoring I added cardamom powder and saffron strands. You can skip it if you don’t like, but I recommend not to skip. Because that’s the essential in lassi, the aromatic cardamom flavor and saffron adds to the color as well. The aroma of cardamom powder makes this mango lassi so delicious!
