Mango Lassi
"We like to cook Indian food at our home for special occasions. My 14-year-old loves to make Mango Lassi's for our guests to drink as they arrive.
We purchase 1 lb 14 oz cans of Mango pulp from a local Middle Eastern grocer. I put the can in the refrigerator prior to making these so all the ingredients are cold. The owner of the grocery store told me that children in India like to dip bread in the Mango pulp to enjoy as a treat. Expand on that and try dipping sugar or ginger cookies.
Unsure yield."

Although I like to think I followed the recipe on down, instead of regular ice cubes, I used mango nectar that I'd frozen in an ice cube tray & I thought that worked great! At least it probably intensified the mango flavor, & that was fine with us! Definitely a winning lassi! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in I Recommend recipe tag] -
Cool and refreshing, I just love this recipe. I believe its Madhur Jaffrey's from World Vegetarian, or if not then the closest I could find to it (which uses 20 ice cubes- otherwise is identical). I got on a kick making these last summer, and am ready to break out the blender again. =) Thanks for posting, charlie #5! -
Great taste and quick and easy to put together. We love the flavor of cardamom, I've never tried it in a beverage before, but it really worked nicely. -
I halved the recipe for 2 people and omitted the cardamom because DH and I don't like it. It tastes great, thanks! Update... Was craving another lassi this morning and made one serving with cardamom this time... it is FANTASTIC... even better according to the recipe. I will try it with honey next time.

My passions: faith, family, food, and anything family history related. Almost nothing I like more than to chase headstones of my dearly departed ancestors. I've been working on a family cookbook for almost 2 years. (Need to figure out how I want to actually print it.) Enjoy learning about how what I grew up eating relates to my ancestors from Croatia and Alsace primarily. Enjoy following and forming new traditions within the walls of my home.
Some would say I lead a very boring and mundane life. I would say it's just what I ordered. I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom - which is what I truly love. Feel it's the best calling anyone could ever have. I've truly been blessed!
