Mango Lassi / Mango Lassi(With Cardamom) / Mango Yogurt Drink !

Today's Recipe is another easy and delicious drink made using yogurt and ripe Mangoes, Mango Lassi. Lassi is a simple yogurt based drink and it can be made both savory and sweet drink. Sweet Lassi can be made with fruits also and here I have used fresh Ripe Mangoes and flavored with cardamom. Of all the fruit-yogurt based drink, this Mango Lassi is one of my most favorite drink. I love cardamom flavor in my lassi but it is purely optional.You can even top it with some chopped pistachios also. There are lots of recipes for Lassi, some uses more yogurt and less milk, few even add some cream for rich and creamy taste but I like to add equal amount for fresh Yogurt and milk. So here's my recipe for Mango Lassi...

Preparation Time : 5 mins

Cooking Time : Nil

Serves   2

Ingredients

1. Ripe Mango   2 no.s or Mango Pulp (1 cup)
2. Chilled Yogurt    1/2 cup (full fat or reduced fat or low fat)
3. Cold Milk    1/2 cup
4. Sugar    1 Tbsp or to taste
5. Cardamom   2 

Method

• Wash and peel the mango skin, chop into chunks and blend it in a blender along with sugar and 1/4 cup water.
• Then to that add yogurt, milk and cardamom..blend until smooth and creamy.
• That's it...transfer to the serving glass and top it with mango chunks or chopped nuts or serve as such. It is best to consume immediately but you can keep it in refrigerator until use or not more than 3-4 hours. 

Notes:
Use sweet variety mangoes or you can also use canned Mango pulp.
Adjust sugar or honey to your taste.
While blending you can also add few ice cubes.
Instead of whole cardamom use 1/4-1/2 tsp cardamom powder.
