Alright. Enough of the technical mumbo-jumbo. Let’s move on to something sweet, tangy, rosey and summery.
It’s that time of the year where all I want to have for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are cool and refreshing lassi’s. There’s quite a collection of lassi recipes that are either prepared sweet or savory. Both has distinct flavor profiles. But one recipe that stands out from all is the classic mango lassi.
The only way to screw this recipe up is by not using fresh, very ripe and utterly sweet mangoes. Everything else are familiar ingredients out of your pantry. Put it all into the blender and whirl away.
Summer can’t be more perfect than this — but you’ve got to get it right with the main ingredient.
Makes: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 very ripe fresh mangoes (yields about 2 heaping cups of cubed mangoes)
- 1 cup low-fat yogurt
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1/8 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tbsp rose water
- 1/8 cup agave nectar or sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup icy cold water
Directions:
- Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Serve chilled topped with edible roses, cubed fresh mango and chopped pistachios!
This lassi can be made vegan by switching out the yogurt for thick coconut cream and milk with coconut milk. You’d want this lassi to be slightly thick, so coconut cream and coconut milk would be great substitutes to emulate the textures.
Off to the farmers market — have a great Friday and weekend!
Have you tried lassi before? What’s your preferred RSS subscription service?

lassi with mango is always the best way to end spicy chicken curry 🙂 I have yet to add rose water. I am currently using both bloglovin and feedly cant decide yet. Happy Friday

I’ve never seen a more beautiful lassi. Mango lassi is a summer favorite, a must, actually! But I have yet to try it with cardamom and rosewater. That will be fixed…

I have actually never had or heard of a lassi before but it looks like a great drink with fresh fruit! I use bloglovin as my reader but don’t love it. Google reader I could put in a word an search my favorite blogs first for recipes. I have not figured out how or I’d I can do this with bloglovin yet.

Patty recently posted..Grilled Fingerlings & Fennel with Pesto
Patty — the key is very ripe mangoes. it would guarantee natural sweetness and taste of mangoes in this lassi. if you tried this recipe, let me know how it tastes!
Wow wow Astonishing pictures! These mangoes are perfectly ripe, they are now my reference model 🙂
p.s. I’ve got you on Feedly!

Charul @ Tadka Masala recently posted..Anyone for coffee, the virtual kinds, with a salad maybe!?
Charul — you are right about feedly 🙂
hm excellent idea with coconut milk instead of regular milk. That should work well with the mango and I bet too with the rose flavors. Pretty pictures Kiran!
Helene D’souza recently posted..Dear readers,

Shema — thank you so much! and since we are getting great mangoes, why not make lassi’s, right? 🙂
I always hear the word “lassi” and I assume it’s a type of smoothie? But perhaps not as thick? Stunning pictures, as always! Thank you for the temptation – I have ripe mangos in the fridge calling me!
Laura @ Family Spice recently posted..Baked French Toast with a Whole Lotta Blueberries
Laura — yes, it’s a smoothie. traditionally it’s made with curd but I opted for yogurt instead. yes, it’s not as thick as smoothies. you ought to make it now, since ripe mangoes are calling you from the fridge 😉
The pictures are so stylish and elegant Kiran,great job!
Love the mango lassie recipe, reminds me of the beautiful years we spent in India.
The flavors of rose water and cardamom added make a fantastic combination with mangos.

Shibi — awww, thanks so much!! the combo with rose is definitely exotic and tasty!
I don’t know why I haven’t made this yet. Whenever I’m out and have the chance, I never hesitate to order a lassi. I could just be making them at home. Thanks for the stunning post, Kiran!!
