The Ingredients
- Mango, i have used fresh mango pulp. You can always use sweetened, canned mango pulp. If using canned ones, do not add any sugar.
- Milk, i have used fresh full fat milk. i have not tried it with plant-based milk.
- Yogurt, i have used fresh full fat yogurt. Low-fat yogurt is also a good option.
- Cardamom, i have used fresh cardamom pods as flavoring. Saffron also adds a wonderful flavor to the mango lassi.
- Pistachios for garnish. Adding sugar is optional. As the mango pulp was sweet enough, i haven't added any sugar in my lassi.
