Mango Lassi
A lassi is a yogurt-based drink designed to cool the palate, making it the perfect thing to serve with spicy food. The key is to get the balance right between the sweet mango and the tangy yogurt. Using frozen mango chunks is the best way to achieve a thick, slushy texture and an ice-cold temperature without watering it down with actual ice.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- A pinch of Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add the frozen mango, yogurt, milk, honey, cardamom, lime juice, and salt to the blender.
- Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- Scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
- Taste and add more milk if too thick or honey if desired.
- Pour into glasses immediately and serve ice-cold.
- Top with the chopped pistachios if using.
Notes
Serve right away for best results as this drink is meant to be enjoyed ice-cold.
