Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Mango Lassi

[heart_this] · May 27, 2008 · 30 Comments

Mango Lassi

With the weather warming up and fresh ripe mangoes on hand I thought that it was a good time to try making a mango lassi. A lassi is a South Asian drink that is made from yogurt, water and spices. Lassis can also contain fruits and or berries such as mangoes, strawberries, etc. Some or all of the water can be replaced by milk to make it a bit creamier. The ratio of yogurt to water/milk controls how thick the lassi is. If you like a thinner drink use more water/milk and if you prefer a thicker drink use less water/milk. If you want a really thick drink try using Greek yogurt. Lassis are as easy to make as blending everything in a food processor. I though that I would continue with my cardamom experiments and added some to the drink. The mango lassi was nice and thick and cool and refreshing. I have a feeling that fruit and berry lassis will be helping me through the hotter days this summer.

    It is interesting that you drink mango lassi when it’s hot – Chinese believe that mango is a ‘heaty food’ hence I avoid consuming it when the weather is too hot. In the west, the concept is the exact opposite! hee.

    Your drink looks beautiful, I might try it out!

    A trip to my favourite curry houses just wouldn’t be complete without a jug of mango lassi. I can never get enough of it.
