Lassi is a yogurt based drink that is very popular dish from Punjab. It is a blend of yogurt, water, spices and some times fruits in it. During summers lassi is consumed in every house hold almost everyday.

Traditional lassi is a salted/savory drink which is flavored with roasted cumin. Sweet lassi however contains sugar or fruits in it.
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!

How To Make Mango Lassi Recipe

Lassi’s are easy to make. Just blend all ingredients and serve. For mango lassi recipe, you’ll need good quality ripe mangoes. Chop mangoes and take the flesh out. Blend it along with yogurt, cardamom powder, chilled milk(optional), ice cubes, sugar and saffron strands(which is optional)!

You don’t need to add sugar if the mangoes are sweet. However do add sugar if your mangoes aren’t sweet enough. After all this is sweet lassi, it should have the sweet taste. That’s it. Then it’s all about chilling the lassi. Yes ALWAYS serve mango lassi chilled!

And how good a lassi served in earthen clay pots?

The BEST!

Yes, serving lassi in clay pots adds to the taste. The taste of earth! When earthen pots are chilled it adds some extra flavors to mango lassi and you’ll definitely appreciate the earthiness in the lassi.

If you don’t have earthen pot, recommend you to serve this wonderful cooling summer drink in glass or stainless steel cups. No plastics please!
