Mango Lassi
The following should give you approximately two pint glasses of mango lassi. So you’ll need a blender, one mug, canned mango pulp or two fresh mangoes, your choice. You’ll also need plain yogurt, salt, and milk. Then if you want to you can add sugar and ice cubes.
- Take the blender and add one mug of plain dahi or yogurt
- Then add one mug of canned mango pulp
- Or you can also make a mango puree, strained from fresh ripe mangos. (We used to use mango pulp in the takeaway but at home we use fresh mangos, I actually prefer the mango pulp)
- Then add half a mug of milk
- Then add a pinch of salt
- If you want to, you can also add a table spoon of sugar or however much you want according to your taste
- Then blend it all until it is a thick smooth consistency
