Mango Lassi

Ingredients

• •1 large Ripe mango
• •1 cup Plain yogurt
• •0.5 cup Milk
• •2 tbsp Honey
• •0.25 tsp Cardamom powder
• •4 pcs Ice cubes

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the mango into chunks, reserving the pit. You need about 1 cup of cubed mango.

   💡 Use Ataulfo (honey) mangoes for the sweetest result - they have a buttery texture. Alphonso works beautifully too.

2. 2

   Add mango chunks, yogurt, milk, and honey to a powerful blender.

   💡 Add milk first - it helps the blender process frozen items more smoothly.

3. 3

   Add cardamom powder and ice. Blend on high until silky smooth, about 90 seconds.

   💡 The texture should be thick but pourable - like a thick smoothie. Add more milk if too thick.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust honey if needed - some mangoes are sweeter than others.

   💡 Remember the mango will be colder when served, which dulls sweetness - err on the side of slightly sweeter.

5. 5

   Pour into a chilled glass. Garnish with a pinch of cardamom and serve with a wide straw.

   💡 For restaurant-style presentation, serve in a copper cup - the metal enhances the flavor.

6. 6

   Best consumed immediately while cold and frothy.

   💡 Lassi separates quickly - drink within 15 minutes for best texture.
