Thick & Creamy Mango Lassi (Restaurant Style)
Learn how to make thick, creamy mango lassi with ripe mangoes, yogurt, and a few simple ingredients. It is an authentic, restaurant style Indian drink ready in 10 minutes.
Ingredients
- 280 g mango slices I use Vadial frozen alphonso slices (see note#1)
- 250 g thick yogurt cold, plain, preferably whole milk (see note#2)
- 2 tablespoon heavy cream cold
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk whole or 2% either will work, cold
- ½ teaspoon cardamom powder fresh pounded is the best
- 4-5 (67g) ice cubes
To Garnish
- ⅓ cup finely chopped mango to garnish
Instructions
- Place all the listed ingredients in a high speed blender jar. Make sure that your ingrdients are chilled or frozen as mentioned above.
- Secure the lid of the jar and blend on high speed for 2-3 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mango lassi into serving glasses. Garnish with chopped mango and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you are using fresh mango, make sure its ripe and sweet. Freeze the mango slices for an hour or so before using them to make lassi.
- Greek Yogurt can be easily used in this recipe. I use Mountain high yogurt. Highly recommend that you use whole milk yogurt to prevent the lassi from tasting chalky.
- If you need a thinner lassi, adjust the consistency using ¼ to ⅓ cup milk along with 1-2 ice cubes. Don't use water.
- Mangoes can vary in sweetness. You can adjust the sugar in the recipe depending on how sweet your mangoes are. Though if you are looking for the restaurant like taste, it's best to not cut down.
