Instructions

Tap a number to check off the step, and a time to start a timer.

Peel the mangoes, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into chunks.

In a blender, add the mango chunks, yogurt, cold water, and sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the mixture and adjust the amount of sugar to your liking. If you like a hint of cardamom, add it now along with a few saffron threads for a subtle aromatic note.
For a more refreshing drink, you can add ice cubes directly to the blender and blend again, or add them to the glasses before serving.
Pour the mango lassi into glasses and top with a few saffron threads, if you like.

Good to know

Chef's tip

To make your lassi even creamier, use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt. You can also swap the water for milk for an even richer texture! 😋🥭

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The yogurt separates and the texture turns grainy after thawing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Chilled drink made with yogurt and fruit. Best freshly made. Not suited to multi-day batch cooking.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Up to 24 hours maximum in a bottle or airtight container in the fridge.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, served cold.

Variations

Add ice cubes to the blender for a colder lassi.
Adjust the cardamom and saffron to taste.
Adjust the sugar depending on how ripe the mangoes are.

Mistakes to avoid

Using underripe mangoes: choose ripe mangoes, which are sweeter.
Sweetening blindly: taste the mixture before adjusting the sugar.
Under-blending: blend until smooth and creamy.
