GINGER MANGO LASSI
Steps:
- To remove the flesh of the mango, cut the flesh away from the pit in 2 large pieces. Use a paring knife to cut through the flesh (but not through the peel) in a crisscross grid pattern. Use your thumbs to press against the skin side and pop the mango cubes up. Cut across the bottom, along the peel and add the cubes to the blender.
- Peel ginger. Grate ginger finely into bowl. Use fingers to squeeze juice out of gratings. Discard juiced gratings.
- Put ginger and remaining ingredients in the blender and blend until thick and smooth.
- If you don't have a blender you can still make the drink: Just whisk everything but the ice together in a mixing bowl. Fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture on top.
HONEY-GINGER LASSI

Steps:
- Add the flesh of the mango to a blender. Peel ginger using the back of a spoon. Grate the ginger finely into a bowl. Use your fingers to squeeze juice out of the gratings(I just throw it all into the blender, but if you don't like the texture, go ahead and squeeze the juice out).
- Put all ingredients into the blender and blend until completely smooth.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your lassi a more vibrant taste.
- Peel the ginger before grating it: The skin of the ginger can be tough and bitter, so it's best to peel it off before grating it.
- Use full-fat yogurt: Full-fat yogurt will give your lassi a richer, creamier texture. If you're using low-fat or non-fat yogurt, you may need to add some milk or cream to get the desired consistency.
- Sweeten your lassi to taste: Honey is a classic sweetener for lassi, but you can also use sugar or another sweetener of your choice. Start with a small amount of sweetener and add more to taste.
- Serve your lassi chilled: Lassi is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish your lassi with a sprinkle of ground cardamom or a sprig of mint: This will add a touch of extra flavor and color to your lassi.
Conclusion:
Honey ginger lassi is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful drink, give honey ginger lassi a try!
