Recipe FAQs

Mango lassi is made with fresh mango pieces or the next best option is from the canned pulp.

How to choose a good mango ?

• Do not go by the color.
• Give a gentle squeeze. A ripe mango will give slightly. A medium-ripe mango will be somewhat firm, and an unripe mango will be very firm to the touch. It is similar to how you would pick an avocado or peach and know its ripeness on touch.
• Most ripe mangoes will have a fruity scent near the stem of it.
• Never use a tart mango you get in regular grocery store used for salads in making mango lassi.
• If you find the mango to be too fibrous then straining the liquid before serving is advisable else its like hair stuck in the mouth feel and destroy the lassi drinking experience.
