Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. How beautiful, right? Giving me this annual permission to be lazy and savor the moments of relaxation without guilt is my mantra for summers.

Coconut Mango Lassi Ingredients

Ripe Mango Pulp (fresh or canned): Ripe mango pulp provides the sweet and fruity flavor that defines this tropical beverage. If using fresh mangoes, ensure they are ripe and juicy for the best flavor. Canned mango pulp can be a convenient option, especially when fresh mangoes are not in season.

Plain Low-fat Yogurt: Yogurt adds a creamy and tangy base to the lassi. Opting for low-fat yogurt keeps the lassi lighter while still providing a smooth texture. Greek yogurt can also be used for a thicker consistency.

Coconut Cream: Adds rich and creamy texture of the lassi, enhancing its tropical flavor profile. Make sure to use coconut cream rather than coconut milk for a thicker consistency and stronger coconut flavor. You can adjust the amount of coconut cream based on your preference for coconut flavor.

Ground Cardamom: Adds a delightful aromatic flavor to the lassi. Complements the sweetness of the mango and the creaminess of the coconut. Start with a small amount and adjust according to your taste preferences. Freshly ground cardamom seeds can also be used for a more intense flavor.

Honey or Sugar: Add depending on the sweetness of the mangoes and your personal preference. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste. Honey adds a subtle floral sweetness, while sugar provides a straightforward sweetness. You can also use alternative sweeteners like agave syrup or maple syrup if desired.

Lassi With Tropical Flavors

In India, coconut is often referred to as the “tree of life” due to its myriad uses. Almost every part of the coconut tree, from its fruit to its leaves, is utilized in some form. Coconut milk and cream are staples in many Indian dishes, particularly in the southern states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu. They add richness and depth to curries, stews, and desserts. Mango, known as the “king of fruits“, holds a special place in Indian culture and cuisine. India produces a wide variety of mangoes, each with its own unique flavor and texture. Eaten ripe and juicy, fresh mangoes are enjoyed as a snack or incorporated into various dishes.

One delightful creation that emerges from this union is the Coconut Mango Lassi. Combining the velvety richness of coconut cream with the vibrant sweetness of ripe mangoes, creates tropical bliss in every sip.

This tropical lassi blends the finest ingredients. Enjoy it as a mid-day snack, a morning treat, or as a delightful end to your meal. Embrace the flavors of summer with each sip and let this special drink be a regular part of your summer enjoyment! Cheers to tropical dreams and unforgettable flavors of coconut and mango.
