Instructions

Peel and roughly chop the ripe mango. This ensures it blends smoothly.
Combine the chopped mango, plain yogurt, black salt, and optional water in a blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Pour into glasses and garnish with a fresh mint leaf, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing taste of your homemade Mango Lassi!

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For an ultra-creamy texture, use Greek yogurt or strain regular yogurt through a cheesecloth for 1-2 hours to remove excess whey before blending.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute yogurt with chilled coconut yogurt or almond yogurt; these alternatives pair especially well with mango’s flavor.
Enhance the aromatic profile by adding a pinch of freshly ground cardamom or a few saffron strands before blending.
Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes prior to pouring the lassi to keep your beverage colder for longer and add a touch of frosty presentation.

Expert Tips

Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sweetener.
For a thicker lassi, use less water or add a few ice cubes while blending. For a thinner lassi, add more water.
Garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for an added touch of flavor and visual appeal.
