Yay!! Mango season is here! Today is my lucky day as I got 2 boxes of mangoes which are just ripe and ready to be eaten. If someone gives me a choice between a Mango fruit and a dish made with Mango without giving a second thought I will choose the fruit. But lassi is an exception :) Made with yogurt and milk, this drink is a rocking summer mocktail. It just takes a few minutes to prepare and after relishing it, I can bet that your day will pass by blissfully :)
I have my blissful moments looking at my son enjoying that juicy delicious fruit. The dedication with which he eats the mango is exactly the way I used to eat...sucking away on that gigantic center seed/pit till no flesh is left on it hehe. He simply loves mango lassi. It makes a healthy and filling after school drink.
So let's take a look at this gorgeous MANGO LASSI recipe:
