MANGO SMOOTHIE

MANGO LASSI



I love mangoes and I always wait for their season, when I will get a chance to eat sweet ripe mangoes. Before the season, I always look out for hard green unripe mangoes in the shops for pickling. Mango pickle is a favorite of everybody in my family, and hence is made on a large scale in my house, see my mango pickle recipe here.


In Indian cuisine a variety of pickles and chutneys are made with unripe, raw and sour mangoes. My favorite chutney is the mango pachadi, made in Kerala style. Sweet ripe mangoes are used not only in Indian cuisine but also in many world cuisines particularly for making desserts, cakes and drinks.


These days, mango smoothie (lassi) is very famous all over the world, in almost all Indian restaurants it is available. It is a nice cool sweet drink, which people normally think as a summer drink but I would say, it is a all season drink. If you ask me, I really enjoy it in the winter too, particularly during lunch time with some light lunch.


In winter the mangoes available here are not very tasty if we eat as it is. But if I use them in smoothies they are very nice. Sometime I use frozen mangoes when fresh is not available. When I need a light version of the smoothie, I use the low or fat-free yoghurt.

RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:-
  • ½ l yoghurt (Dahi)
  • 1 ripe mango medium size
  • 250 ml water
  • 2 tbs Sugar ( or less to taste)

Method
  • Wash, peel and chop mangoes in small pieces.
  • In a blender add yoghurt, mango and sugar and water.
  • Pulse for 2-3 minutes, pour in a glass and add ice cubes.
  • Serve chilled with or without food as a sweet, cold drink.

This can be served to 2-3 people.
