Mango Dalgona Lassi
Mango Dalgona Lassi, loaded with creamy dreamy mango cream, plain rich yogurt based liquid and hint of cardamom saffron pistachio to give you the best summery beverage!
Lassi is a popular traditional yogurt-based Indian beverage. It is a blend of yogurt, water, spices, sugar and sometimes fruit. Salty lassi is similar to buttermilk, while sweet lassis are like milkshakes. One of the very popular lassis is Mango Lassi, specially during the mango season! If you have ever been to India during mango season, I am sure you know it’s like a haven of mangos LOL. There are so many ways to consume mangos whether its green unripe mangos or juicy ripe mangos.
I grew up in India, that being said I have enjoyed at least 23 mango seasons. I still remember my childhood days when my grand ma used massage these juicy mangos and let them sit in a tub full of cold water. Then she would sit us around the tab full of mangos with only underwear on. And then let us eat mangos, as many as we wanted and however we wanted. White she would prepare mango ras by taking juice out of those juicy mangos and strain it to make it super smooth, and give us the skin and the pit to lick it clean. We all used to get mango juice all over us and then show would give all of us a quick bath!
This mango lassi is so rich and creamy! It is like drinking iced cold Mango Shrikhand LOL. Yes, if you like mango shrikhand, you would LOVE this Mango Dalgona Lassi. The mango cream is full of amazing flavors of mango, cardamom, saffron and pistachio. The base of this lassi is simply made with yogurt, cold water and honey. It is very simple to make and dangerously delicious!
My family absolutely loves this goodie and I will be making it over and over during the mango season! If you happen to make it and end up liking it, please tag me on Instagram @myvegetarianroots. I would love to see your recreation of this deliciousness! If you like this goodie, I bet you’ll like this DALGONA ROSE LASSI as well!
Happy and Healthy Drinking!
