Mango Lassi is a rich and creamy yogurt-based drink blended with ripe mangoes and sugar, offering a sweet, tropical, and refreshing taste.
A favorite across Delhi, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Mumbai, Mango Lassi is a delightful fusion of traditional Indian lassi and the sweetness of mangoes. This refreshing drink is widely enjoyed during mango season, especially in the scorching summers of North India, where it serves as a cooling and energizing treat.
Made by blending fresh yogurt with ripe mango pulp, sugar, and chilled milk or water, it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency. It is often flavored with cardamom, saffron, or rose water, and garnished with chopped nuts like almonds and pistachios for an extra touch of richness. Some variations include a swirl of fresh cream or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent twist.
Served in tall glasses or traditional kulhads (clay cups), Mango Lassi is perfect as a standalone drink or paired with spicy Indian dishes like biryanis, kebabs, or chaats. This delicious and nutritious beverage is a must-try for mango lovers and anyone seeking a taste of India’s tropical flavors.
