Recipes from ripe mangoes are hugely popular in India, especially during the summer season. The market is flooded with different types of mangoes and I guess most of the juicy ripe mangoes are ideal for this beverage. I have already lined up with mango recipes for summer but I always wanted to start with this extremely popular mango lassi recipe. I have already shared the savory version or plain lassi recipe previously but I was just waiting for fresh mangoes to arrive. Having said that, lassi can also be prepared from mango pulp or frozen mangoes to quench the thirst during the non-mango season. Using mango pulp is the easiest way of preparing this recipe without the hassle of skinning mangoes with a consistent mango taste.

The recipe steps are extremely simple to prepare a mango lassi recipe, yet some tips, variations, and serving ideas for it. Firstly, I would heavily recommend using fresh or less sour curd for any lassi recipe. Otherwise, the result may taste very sour and you may have to add more sugar to void the sour taste. Secondly, choose sweet mangoes Alphonso, Badami, Neelam, Raspuri, and Kesar for a creamy and rich Aam Ki Lassi recipe. Moreover, you should be able to get these mango pulp extracts too in your nearest store. Lastly, serve mango lassi chilled, or perhaps use ice cubes while blending it for instant chilled lassi. Ideally, lassi should taste great when served after the meal.
