Mango Lassi

Mango lassi is very easy to prepare. The only time taken is to peel and cut the fruit. Blending takes a couple of minutes and this delicious, creamy drink is all ready for the family to enjoy. Plus, it is loved by all age groups and hence can be a great addition to any party menu.

Mango lassi can be prepared in a few ways but this recipe uses fresh mangoes. The lassi has a great flavor because of the fresh mangoes used. The fresh fruit ripe in the season has amazing taste and every time when you use the fresh ones, the fruit has enough sugar to sweeten the lassi. The color of the lassi can vary depending on the mango varietu used. I love Himam pasand, Banganapalli, and Jawwad variety. Alphonso is a great choice. Any variety of mango will make a delicious lassi even if there is a variation in color. I use Ataulfo, Maratho, Kent, or Hayden varieties that I can get here. If we are lucky, some years, we will get Banganapalli, Rasalu varieties in Indian groceries. Sugar can be added in minimum quantities.  I always use homemade yogurt. Feel free to use what you have. All you need is three ingredients - mangoes, chilled yogurt, and sugar.

Many of you would definitely agree with me - we all know we wait for the summer vacation and eat all juicy mangoes. When we go back to school, we yearn and wait for the next vacation. now we simple can feel great about those years. Probably the best years of our life and the best mangoes we ate. In addition to eating the fruit as such, when it is made into lassi, it makes a more special satisfying drink or meal. Just like this lassi, the Mango Icecream, Mango Kulfi,  and Vegan Mango Cake are made with fresh fruit and have amazing flavor. Falooda is another dessert that many of us love and mango falooda will be ranking high. Try this Mango Falooda Monster Milkshake made with fresh mangoes and treats made with fresh mangoes. No wonder this is the King of all fruits.
