History of Mango Lassi

Indian World's famous traditional card-based drink with the Indian Subcontinent's origin, called lassi, always called Punjab di lassi. It has the origin history of Punjab and Multan, an earlier part of India now in Pakistan.  Lassi is a mixture of Curd (Dahi in the Indian language), Yoghurt, Little water or without water, and sometimes fruits like Mango, Strawberry, and Banana. Lassi is a fermented beverage that acts as a super cooling agent in scorching summer. It is a popular Indian traditional drink.

Lassi in India comes in multiple flavors like:

  • Mint leaf
  • Orange  
  • Papaya Honey
  • Raspberry

  • Thandai

Indian Lassi is a favorite drink in Indian restaurants in India as well as abroad.  I had a drink of Mango lassi in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, some variations, but away. It is the same traditional Indian drink. Since lassi has a history of before 1000 B.C, while sugar came to India after 640 A.D., Fruits like Mango were alternate sources for sweetness in recipes.

Even it was used for mango, refreshing sweet and tangy taste, which makes you energetic. Since Alphonso Mango is loaded with a creamy sweet taste, Mango Pulp has a tender and delicate texture, little or non-fibrous fruit, and soft and sweet juicy Pulp. Since then, mango has been blended with curd (Dahi) or yogurt, saffron strands, ground cardamom powder, sugar, and ice cubes.

Alphonso Mango Lassi

Alphonso Mango, loaded with a creamy taste sweet, goes very well with lassi.  

 

 Mango Pulp has a tender and delicate texture, little or non-fibrous fruit, and sweet and tangy juicy Pulp.  It is a yummy soothing lassi in all seasons because you get ripe mango in summer, I mean Alphonso mangoes.

Mango Lassi Recipe 

It has multiple variants in Mango Lassi like

      1.  With ripe Alphonso mango – ripe mango
      2. With canned mango pulp
      3. With sweetened mango pulp
      4. With sweet and masala spice
      5. With vegan curd using cashew milk, sesame milk, rice milk
      6. With low-fat cream curd
      7. Kesar for topping

You can choose ripe mango as per your choice. Here we have taken Alphonso Mango or sweetened mango pulp made from Alphonso mangoes as it is significantly less fiber. You may as well use Kesar mango pulp, but it is a bit fibrous; it might change your taste and color of lassi.

Ingredients of Mango lassi 

      1. You can take 3 to 4 Alphonso mangoes, peel them off and chop cubes. It will be nearly two to two and a half cups of alphonso mango cubes.
      2. Two to three tablespoons of malai (fresh cream) and more health-conscious can be avoided if required.
      3. Yogurt base or yogurt milk or Dahi (Curd) nearly two cups (means almost 500 grams)
      4. Half a tablespoon of rose water, or you can use Gulkand (Gulqand, rose petal jam)
      5. Grounded cardamom powder half teaspoon
      6. Optional Ice cubes are ok with it as they would reduce the consistency of lassi. I would suggest adding the ice cubes in the afternoon and don’t add them in the evening.
      7. Add sugar or jaggery or Honey or Stevia or Palm sugar as per your taste and choice because generally, Alphonso mangoes are a sweet delight. Still, you can take nearly three to five tablespoons of sugar.
      8. Add chopped cashew nuts, saffron strands, almonds (Badam), walnuts (akhrot), Anjeer (fig), and mint leaves for garnishing.
