Hint: I love this Indian yogurt (Desi Natural Dahi). I have found it in Indian grocery stores and on occasion can find it in BJ's Wholesale. If you can't find it, a plain whole milk yogurt like Stonyfield (affiliate link) is best. Don't use greek yogurt, as it is way too thick.

Top Tip

Choose a ripe mango. A mango that is not ripe will not be sweet and it will be hard to cut! If the mango is ripe, it will feel soft when you apply a light pressure to the fruit. You can also try smelling the fruit at the stem end. If you can smell the fruit, it is likely ripe.

Storage

Store leftover mango lassi in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.

Serve with...

Mango lassi is a delicious drink you can enjoy on it's own or as part of a meal. It would be a great addition to this Butter Chicken recipe or paired as a snack with these Sesame Cardamom Cookies!
