Mango Lassi Shake Recipe

Description:

Two tall glasses filled to the brim with a vibrant, golden-orange Mango Lassi Shake. The thick, creamy texture is evident, with tiny ice crystals adding to its appealing look. A dusting of finely chopped pistachios adds a touch of green, contrasting beautifully with the orange hue. The glasses are slightly chilled, creating condensation on their exteriors. The overall visual is one of refreshing sweetness and creamy indulgence; the drink’s vibrant color is inviting and suggests a tropical, fruity flavor.

Ingredients:

• - 2 cups ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
• - 1 cup plain yogurt
• - 1/2 cup milk
• - 1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)
• - 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
• - Pinch of saffron threads (optional)
• - Ice cubes
• - Chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. 1. In a blender, combine the chopped mangoes, yogurt, milk, sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron threads (if using). Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take approximately 1-2 minutes on high speed.
2. 2. Taste the mixture and adjust the sugar according to your preference. You may want to add more if your mangoes aren’t very sweet.
3. 3. Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender.
4. 4. Blend again for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the ice is finely crushed and the shake is well chilled. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
5. 5. Pour the Mango Lassi Shake into two tall glasses.
6. 6. If using, garnish each glass with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
7. 7. For an extra special touch, you can rim the glasses with a little sugar before pouring in the shake. To do this, moisten the rim of the glass with a little water or milk and then dip it into a small shallow dish of sugar.
8. 8. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and delicious shake!
