Mango Lassi (Yogurt Based mango smoothie)

“Mango lassi” is a traditional yogurt based drink which has now become very popular with the restaurants. The sweet punjabi lassi is flavoured with ripe mangoes and is so refreshing. It is a nice way to beat the summer heat in India and even elsewhere. So do try it out.

Serves: 3-4

Preparation time: 15 mins.

Cooking time: zero mins.

Ingredients:

1 large ripe mango

2 cups fresh full fat curd (chilled)

½ teaspoon cardamom powder or ½ teaspoon rose water

Sugar or honey as a sweetener as per taste and sweetness of mangoes

Directions:

1. Wash and peel the mangoes and cut into cubes.
2. Add mangoes to the blender and puree them with sugar, cardamom powder or rose water.
3. Add curd to the blender and blend until smooth.
4. Transfer to serving glasses and garnish with nuts or mint leaves.

Tips:

• If you do not like thick lassi then add half milk and half curd instead of only curd.
• Use fresh curd and make sure it not sour as you will end up adding more sugar/honey to the lassi and it will loose on the mango flavor.
