Indian Mango Lassi is a delicious smoothie that we enjoyed at the end of our Indian meal. India produces a staggering 1.2 million tons of mangoes annually so it is no wonder that it is their national fruit.
This recipe is easy to make, I made ours with a hint of cardamom and it was excellent. The thick and smooth lassi was perfect to soothe the palate from the heat of the delicious Indian curries we enjoyed.
