Indulge yourself, while the temperatures are soaring, with a frosty glass of Mango Lassi or Mango Thandai!
Try these two bracing mango drinks by Maharaj Jodharam Choudhary of the Khandani Rajdhani restaurant group.
Mango Lassi
Servings: 4-6 glasses
- 1 kg yoghurt
- 200 gm sugar or as per taste
- 500 gm mango puree
- 1 tbsp or less green elaichi or cardamon powder
- Mint leaves, for garnish
- Ice cubes, for blending and garnish
Method
- In a large jug or mixing bowl, blend the yogurt, sugar and some of the ice cubes using a manual blender/beater.
- Avoid using an electric blender, as the high speed blending separates the milk solids and makes the lassi thinner.
Add the mango puree and blend well.
Add cardamom powder and give it a good stir.
Pour into glasses and top it up with ice cubes and garnish with mint leaves.
