Mango Lassi

Mango lassi : Ripe mangoes are blended with fresh, thick yogurt and enriched with cream/malai makes a delicious drink for this hot summer.

Ingredients:

1. Mango - 1 1/2 - 2 cups, peeled n diced
2. Yogurt - 1 cup, thick
3. Sugar - 2 tbsp, or to taste
4. Cardamom powder - a dash
5. Cream / Malai - 2 tbsp

For garnishing:

1. Nuts of ur choice, preferably roasted
2. Saffron - 2 to 3 threads
3. Cream - few drops, to drizzle

Method:

• In a blender add the diced mango cubes, sugar, cardamom powder and blend until  it is thoroughly mashed.
• Dump in the yogurt and give it a whip , just to combine.
• Add the cream and fold in using a spatula.
• Pour the mango lassi on to the serving glass and top with roasted nuts of ur choice , garnish with saffron and drizzle of cream on top. 
• Refrigerate and serve chilled.

Notes/ Suggestions:

• This measurement would yield a smooth consistency of lassi, definitely not thick. Add more yoghurt if the lassi is thick. 
• Folding some cream in the lassi makes it more rich and yummy instead of just putting as topping.
