Mango Lassi



Now that you know how to cut a mango, you are ready to make a lassi. Basically, a mango lassi is an exotic fruit smoothie. The addition of cardamom will transport you to India or, at the very least, your favorite Indian restaurant. I’m giving you the recipe for a sweet lassi, if you like things more on the savory side, substitute a pinch of salt for the sugar. A pinch is exactly what it sounds like, just the amount of salt that you can grasp with your thumb and forefinger. Additionally, if you would like a thinner lassi, add a bit of milk. This is one of those recipes that are not exact and you can have fun making it your own.


Mango Lassi

The flesh of one mango (about 1 cup)
1 cup of plain yogurt
1/2 a cup of crushed ice or ice cubes
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom or to taste

Put all ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Enjoy!
