My sis had given me some mangoes. So I just thought of making Mango Lassi as it’s just so refreshing and filling. I had 2 glasses by myself as they are so yum. In fact lot of recipes like thandai, gujiya, halwa, bhaang etc are made during occasion of holi. The recipe differs from state to state but mango lassi can be made in any state right 😉

If you don’t have mangoes don’t panic just add some other fruits like banana, berries or make chocolate lassi. I love mango lassi and chocolate lassi too. Mostly lassis are served in earthen wares or pots also known as khullar in India.

Lassis originate from North India where they are served in tall glasses. Various kind of lassis are made like plain lassi, kesar lassi, dry fruit lassi etc. Mangoes are favorite of many hence made mango lassi. Appropriate mango type would be Alphonso for lassi however use any good quality mangoes you have.

You could make a variety of dishes from mangoes like shakes, iced tea, kulfi, custard, phirni, barfi, cakes, cheesecake, cookies, kheer and also icecream.

Also mangoes happen to be one of my favorite food. Mangoes are also mentioned in ayurveda to be a compatible fruit with yogurt or milk.
