Notes
- Pick very ripe, sweet mangoes. My favorite type is Alphonso which are available fresh, frozen and in mango pulp form.
- Reduce the tartness by adding more milk. Alternatively, increase the tartness by adding lemon or lime juice.
- Greek yogurt can make the lassi too thick. dilute with milk or water as needed
- Use unsweetened canned mango pulp. Some canned mangoes are sweetened and the cloying sweetness can ruin a good mango lassi.
- A pinch of salt adds brightness. If you feel the flavors are too muted add a pinch of salt.
- Elevate the lassi with garnishes. The flavoring ingredients and garnishes can quickly a basic mango lassi into something EPIC!
