Mango Lassi is a refreshing, creamy, delicious and super cool Indian summer drink. It is prepared with thick and creamy curd, sweetened mango pulp and flavoured with saffron and cardamom powder. 

My today's recipe is slightly different from others.. I love to follow this method as that not only enhance the taste, but also give beautiful color to this beverage. For that you need to follow this way..

1. Soak the mango pieces in slightly warm sugar syrup 

2. Leave the syrup to come to room temperature 

3. Keep the mango pieces + sugar syrup in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.

4. Combine and blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy 

Let's get started 
Recipe details 

• Cuisine - Indian
• Preparation time - 20-25 minutes 
• Cooking time - 3-5 minutes 
• Servings - 2

✅ Ingredients required 

• 2 Alphonso mangoes - roughly chopped 
• 60 - 80 grams sugar or as preferred
• 6-7 tbsp - one cup thick curd preferably chilled 
• Few strands of saffron (optional) 
• 50 ml milk
• Add a pinch of cardamom powder
• Few ice cubes 
• Few pistachio's for garnish - finely chopped 

Method 

✅Step 1 Mise en place

◾Mangoes - wash - pat dry - peel - chop it roughly - discard the seed.

✅Step 2 Soak the mango pieces in sugar syrup. 

◾Combine sugar and ½ cup of water and bring it to boil and cook it on slow flame for 3-5 minutes until the sugar gets completely dissolved. Add saffron. Switch off the gas stove. Allow it to cool down slightly. Add the mango pieces. Mix it well. Leave it to cool down completely, then keep it in the freezer compartment for 10-15 minutes.

✅Step 3 Blend

◾Combine all the ingredients i.e soaked mangoes pieces in sugar syrup, curd, ice cubes, milk and a pinch of cardamom powder in a blender jar and blend until smooth and creamy. I'm using Kitchenaid 5 speed diamond blender which is best for smoothies and milk shakes. The speed of this machine is simply outstanding and work gets done within few seconds. If you don't have a high speed blender, in such case, first puree the mangoes and then add remaining ingredients and grind until smooth and creamy.

✅Step 4 Garnish and  Serve

Pour mango Lassi into a tall glass, garnish it with finely chopped mango pieces and pistachio's. Serve it chilled. Cheers..🤩 Happy Mango season to all the mango lovers.😋😊
