In India “Lassi” is a term used to refer any drink made with yogurt(dahi). Lassi comes in different kinds of flavors, some of the flavors are salty, sweet, mint, fruit etc. A mango lassi is a yogurt based mango drink, made with sweet mangoes blend in yogurt(dahi).
Traditionally lassi is made with “only yogurt”. But to make it little different add little milk into the lassi. It will help your lassi less thick. But if you are not favour of adding milk to your lassi, then you can use only yogurt(dahi).
You should use a fresh, ripe, sweet mango.
Check your mango well. If your mango is not ripe enough then add more sugar or honey. Otherwise it will be too tart and you will unable to enjoy your drink properly.
Here i will use mangoes, yogurt(dahi), milk, sugar and dash of cardamom. (If you want, you can also add a pinch of saffron or rose. It will help to increase the flavors), But this is optional.

Speciality of mango lassi
Till the date i have not found anyone who do not like mangoes. I am sure you will also hardly find anyone who do not like mangoes. But sometimes people are obsessed with mangoes, that is why people try to find different ways to eat mangoes. And for them mango lassi is the best option according to me. Because it is the combination of sweet mangoes and cool yogurt(dahi).
You should add some cream. And if you want you can add 1 or 2 ice cubes to get extra cooling or rose water for flavor or saffron. If you do not like, you can skip all of these. The color of the lassi depends upon the quality of the mangoes.
All the time the quality of the mangoes will not be same. So, do not be tensed if you will not get proper color or if you do not ger same color all the time.
Always remember
- Does not matter which type of mangoes you are using, but make sure that they have a smooth pulp and are not fibrous.
- Do not use sour yogurt(dahi), always use sweet yogurt(dahi).
