I got a box of mangoes when I hosted my recent Foodbuzz 24, 24, 24 Summer White Party. I used half to make lobster and mango salad and the other half for mango lassi–my favorite Indian beverage.
Even though I grew up in Malaysia where Indians are the third largest ethnic group, I’d never had mango lassi until I came to the United States. I first tasted it in an Indian buffet restaurant and since then I am hooked. I love its fruity sweet taste, creamy richness from yogurt and milk, and the smoothness of blended mango down my throat. Mango lassi is just perfect with fiery and spice-laden Indian food…
Here is my easy mango lassi recipe that is totally painless to prepare. I use honey instead of sugar and that really does the trick for me!

Malaysian Mango Chicken
Growing up in Malaysia, I was very much spoiled by all the exotic tropical fruit varieties. From the seasonal Durian ‘King of Fruits’ and Mangosteen, the mighty Queen, to mangoes that are amongst the royal fruits you will see everywhere throughout the year. Fruits are abundantly available, so much so that restaurants are always coming up with fresh new ideas…
Mango Chutney
For the longest time, I don’t quite get the idea of chutney and I certainly have no idea how to make it. That’s the reason why I have invited Kulsum of Journey Kitchen to share her Mango Chutney recipe with me. Journey Kitchen is another Indian blog that I have discovered recently; there are just so much to learn from…
Mango and Coconut Crème Caramel
It’s Friday and let’s serve up something sweet for the weekend.

I am sure you all remember Sukaina from Lick My Spoon who recently shared her naan recipe with us. Today, she is sharing yet another popular Indian recipe that we all love–butter chicken. Butter chicken is often served at Indian buffet restaurants and it’s easily my favorite Indian dish. I always ask for an extra serving of naan to sop…

ummm – this is the perfect drink for a mango lover like me. my mum used to make this all the time when we were kids! sometimes she would add a touch of cinnamon or cardamom – tasty!
Meeta – yes, I read about cardamom and cinnamon but have never tried one with it. Now, I am really intrigued. I will have to add a dash of them next time.
wow. i’m definitely adding mangoes to my shopping list this weekend. didn’t realise it was so simple to put together. thanks! the photos are very good.
Louisa – it’s very easy, just blend everything and you have yourself some great mango lassi.
Yum, yes, I always order a lassi when I eat spicy Indian food- its really delicious! But I love the salted one, with the hint of cumin spice. I wouldn’t mind sweet lassi if it was flavored with yummy mangoes though- looks good! :)
Mia – I didn’t know that there is a salty mango lassi. Interesting! :)
Looks so refreshing and sweet , I love it ! Can I use any kind of mangoes ? :)
As soon as I find some mangoes, I’ll be on this drink. Maybe it’ll help settle my stomach and help some with my appetite….
Thanks for this one =]
Good luck trying this mango lassi recipe.
I love Mango Lassi, but never know how to make it. Now, thanks to you I can make it at home!!!
It’s very easy to make mango lassi, Candle. Good luck trying.
I, too, have not had mango lassi till I come to US. The closest thing to lassi I had in Malaysia was some plain yogurt looking drink which tasted a bit sour. Since I discover mango lassi here, it becomes a must-have everytime I go to Indian or Pakistani restaurants. Of course, if you don’t eat much, I would not suggest lassi with lunch buffett :) 1 glass of lassi can easily fill you up.
Yummm! I have a huge Hayden Mango tree in my backyard and I always have yogurt and milk in the fridge. My hubby peels and cubes them for me to eat. So don’t ya think I should have him make me one of these? I do. I printed the recipe for him…LOL
Lucky you, yes, he should make you a mango lassi.
good way of making mango lassi from fresh mangos.From what I have heard and seen and tasted,the real mango lassi is made from mango powder or mango paste,I’m a malaysian who lives in Melbourne now has always been ordering mango lassi that is made from mango powder or mango paste but I like your fresh mango lassi resipe.
Your pictures are lovely. Why do you add milk to the lassi? Creamy yogurt and water should suffice no?
Also: there’s no salty mango lassi! There’s sweet lassi (e.g. mango lassi or plain cardamom-saffron lassi etc.) OR salty lassi (yogurt + salt – maybe black salt or rock salt + toasted and ground spices such as cumin and or hing and/or pinched curry leaves).
I added some milk to make my mango lassi more milky in flavor. You can do without it.
We dont have this lassi drink in Zambia. But it sounds interesting. I make juices alot from any fruit i come across. We have alot of mangoes here and most of it go to waste. Wud like to produce commercialy this Mango Lassi.
Question: Can it be preserved to increase shelf life and what can be the right packaging for it?

how many glasses does this make?
