Mango Lassi is a nice combination of yogurt (dahi) and fresh mango. It usually contains cardamom, water and sugar. For an extra touch, add soaked saffron strands to the recipe to make Kesar Mango Lassi.
Mix and combine the ingredients until the drink is creamy and foamy. Mango Lassi is best consumed cold to fully appreciate its flavor.
Lassi is a traditional Indian milkshake from the pre-refrigeration era, when Punjabi farmers combined milk, sugar and curd and stored the mixture in clay pots. It is a delicious drink ideal to combat the summer heat, refresh the palate and hydrate the body.
