Lassi is an all-time favorite Indian beverage and is the perfect complement to a spicy meal. Mango Lassi is by far the most popular variation outside of India. In Punjab, where it originates,the traditional Lassi is enriched with cream, and served topped with nuts and Mava (milk solids). This drink is often prepared with just yogurt and sugar for the sweet version, or with yogurt and salt/pepper for the savory one.
Ingredients
1 cup Yogurt
1 cup Mango pulp or sweet Mango slices
1-2 tbsp Sugar (to taste)
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
Pinch saffron strands (optional)
Yield: 2 servings
Preparation
To prepare the cardamom powder, crush the cardamoms in a mortar and pestle and separate the skins (you can add them to Masala Chai).
Soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm water or milk and let it stand for at least 5 minutes to let the flavors infuse into the water.
Put the yogurt, mango pulp, sugar, cardamom powder and saffron into a blender and blend into a smooth consistency. You can add ice to chill it if you like. Adjust the sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the mango or mango pulp that you’ve used.
