Lassi - Mango
Ingrédients
Instructions
Put it all in a blender and pour over crushed ice. You can also use other fruits like strawberries and bananas.
Mango Lassi is one of the world's most beloved non-alcoholic fruit drinks, blending fresh ripe mango with yogurt, sugar, and iced water into a thick, creamy, tropical drink. The mango's fragrant sweetness and the yogurt's lactic tang create a perfectly balanced combination that is simultaneously refreshing and indulgent. It is a staple of Indian restaurants worldwide and a cornerstone of South Asian beverage culture.
History & Origins
Mango Lassi is a modern refinement of the ancient Indian lassi tradition, with the addition of fruit believed to have developed in the Punjab region of Northern India during the 20th century. The mango, revered as the 'king of fruits' in South Asia, was a natural pairing for the yogurt-based drink. The drink was introduced to Western audiences through the Indian diaspora and spread globally through Indian restaurants from the 1970s onward.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Intensely fragrant ripe mango with a creamy yogurt tang and sweet sugar note. Palate: Thick and luxuriously creamy — ripe mango's tropical sweetness is amplified by the yogurt's tang and balanced by the sugar, creating a drink that is rich yet refreshing. Finish: Long and fruity, with lingering mango sweetness and a clean yogurt tartness.
Pro Tip
Use very ripe, fragrant Alphonso or Ataulfo mangoes for the most intensely flavored result; blend until completely smooth and serve immediately over crushed ice.
