Glass of mango lassi garnished with a pinch of cardamom — How ripe the mango is matters more than any other ingredient here.

DifficultyEasy

Sweet ripe mango blended with yogurt, a little sugar, and a pinch of cardamom -- a cooling drink that's just as at home with a spicy meal as on its own.

Ingredients

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped, or 300g mango pulp
250 g plain yogurt
120 ml milk
2 tbsp sugar, or to taste
pinch of ground cardamom
ice cubes, to serve

Instructions

Combine the mango, yogurt, milk, sugar, and cardamom in a blender.
Blend until completely smooth.
Very ripe, fragrant mangoes make all the difference here -- an underripe mango makes a thin, tart lassi that no amount of sugar fixes.
Taste and adjust sugar, then blend briefly with ice cubes or pour over ice to serve.

Notes

Frozen mango chunks work well out of season and give an even thicker, colder lassi.
Canned mango pulp (kesar or alphonso) is a good substitute when good fresh mangoes aren't available.
