About This Recipe
In Andhra, we get special varieties of mangoes, particularly known as Rasalu (Cheruku Rasalu, Pedda Rasalu, or Chinna Rasalu). These mangoes are famous for their exceptional juiciness and sweetness. Because of their rich flavor profile, these mangoes are highly sought after during the season. When rasalu mangoes grace the market, it’s time for a mango extravaganza! From luscious lassi to refreshing smoothies, my kitchen becomes a hub of fruity delights.
Originating from the Indian subcontinent, mango lassi is a popular, traditional yogurt-based drink. Mango Lassi is made with ripe mangoes, yogurt, sugar, cardamom or a dash of saffron for added flavor. This delightful beverage is not only refreshing but also acts as a cooling antidote to spicy Indian meals. Bursting with flavors, mango lassi combines the tartness of yogurt with the sweetness of mango, making it a perfect treat on a hot day.
Lassi made with Rasalu mangoes is creamy and sweet. This type of mango gives the drink a rich, thick texture, making it very tasty. Using Rasalu mangoes, which are special to Andhra, makes the lassi even more delightful. Enjoy it as a refreshing summer drink, a dessert, or as a decadent treat at any time of the day.

- Blend: Place the mango pulp in a blender and blend until smooth. You can add a splash of lemon juice to help preserve the color and freshness of the pulp.
- Storage Containers: Transfer the blended mango pulp into clean, airtight containers. Make sure the containers are made of glass or food-grade plastic and have tight-fitting lids.
- Freezing Option: If you don't plan to use the mango pulp immediately, consider freezing it. Fill the containers with the mango pulp, leaving some space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Seal the containers tightly.
- Label and Date: It's essential to label the containers with the contents and the date of preparation. This helps you keep track of freshness and ensures you use the mango pulp within a reasonable timeframe.
- Storage: Store the containers of mango pulp in the refrigerator if you plan to use them within a few days. If you're freezing the pulp, place the containers in the freezer.
- Thawing: When you're ready to use the frozen mango pulp, transfer it to the refrigerator and allow it to thaw overnight. Alternatively, you can thaw it more quickly by placing the container in a bowl of cold water.

Nisha says
The soaking 2-3 hours to remove dust that you mentioned … I do it for a different reason.
My mother-in-law said to leave mangoes in water for 2-3 hours before using in order to reduce the heat mango causes. Otherwise people with sensitive skin get pimples easily eating fruits like mangoes & papayas that have some sorta heat in them.
Sometimes I forget & leave them dunked overnight, that's another case 😛
Kaveri Venkatesh says
