Frequently Asked Questions
How much sugar should I use if my mangoes are already very sweet?
Start with less than the full 1/2 cup (120 ml) of sugar and adjust based on the sweetness of your mangoes — use less if they are very ripe and sweet, more if they are tart. Taste before adding more.
What type of yogurt works best in this lassi?
I use cream-top whole yogurt, which is thicker and richer than standard low-fat yogurt. The 3/4 cup (180 ml) of this full-fat yogurt gives the lassi its characteristic creamy body alongside the 2 cups (480 ml) of cubed mango.
I love mango smoothies, I have come up with quite a nubemr of mango smoothie recipes myself! I haven’t tried coconut milk on it though. I find it too heavy on dishes, so I never really thought of trying it here especially when it’s going to be raw. But then again, I love mango smoothies so much that I would like to give this a try, lol! Let’s see what will happen, good luck to my tummy, lol!
Thanks..Love those fabulous flavors as well!!
Mango lassi is fantastic – a nice addition is some rose water and crushed green cardamom!
