Instruction

  • Blend the mangoes, yogurt, milk and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Adjust sugar according to taste. Sugar amount will depend on the sweetness or sourness of the mango and yogurt.
  • Add ice and cardamon powder and blend again. Add water to adjust consistency to your liking. The best lassi is slush-like.
  • Pour in tall glass and garnish with mint leaf.

It was a great experience for the participants in this kitchen. A first timer trying Indian food loves it. Another finds it too spicy while the rest enjoy it.
