When I visited India about 10 years ago, I was having a lassi every day - there was something about the cooling, sweet taste to go with your evil curry. Back in New Zealand, it's not something I make very often, though not sure why. The mango lassi is really tasty, and not complicated. The only part that you can get wrong is choosing a bad mango.
This mango lassi recipe is pretty standard, but tastes great.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango
- 1 cup of plain yoghurt
- 1/2 - 1 cup of milk, depending how thick you like it
- 2 - 4 tsp sugar, depending how sweet you like it
- A few leaves of fresh mint
- 4 small ice cubes
Makes 2 large mango lassis.
Chop n' blend
Peel the mango and chop into chunks, without getting too close to the core which tends to be quite hard and stringy. Blend all ingredients on high speed. Be careful with the ice cubes as these can get stuck and make your blender splat lassi all over your walls!
Serve with a hot evil vindaloo, any tasty Indian cusine, or as a nice sweet dessert after any good meal.
