I have a quick recipe to refresh you for summers today – Minty Mango Lassi. I have already shared how to make Traditional Sweet Lassi like people make in Punjab, using a ‘Madhani’ or ‘Whisker’.This Minty Mango Lassi is a variation you can make for summers & this time I am using a blender, which makes this amazing Lassi in few minutes. I have used Fresh Mint in this drink, it makes the Lassi SO SO refreshing and I found Mango + Mint is a great combination.

3 Tsp Powdered Sugar or as required

6-8 Fresh Mint Leaves

4-5 Ice Cubes

Mango pieces & Mint Leaves for garnish

Steps to Make Minty Mango Lassi:

1. In a mixing jar, add sweet alphanso mango pieces, sugar. Cover the lid & blend for 30-40
2. seconds or until its well blended.
3. Now add fresh curd & blend again for 30 seconds or till it is blended.
4. Add some ice cubes, which will help the thick & creamy Lassi to lighten in texture & make it chilled.
5. In a serving glass, add ice cubes & pour the Minty Mango Lassi over it.
6. Garnish with fresh mango pieces & mint leaves.

Important Pointers:

• Do not overbeat the curd in blender or else it will turn into butter.
• You can us powdered sugar or sugar syrup because too.
• Depending upon how sweet the mangoes are & how sweet you prefer your Lassi to be, you can alter the sugar amount.  
• Always use fresh curd to make Lassi. Do not use old & sour curd, it will not taste good.
• Instead of water, use Ice Cubes to make the Lassi less thick in consistency & it will also chill the Lassi at the same time.

Traditional Punjabi Sweet Lassi Recipe: Indian Yoghurt Smoothie Recipe!

Traditional Punjabi Sweet Lassi Recipe: Indian Yoghurt Smoothie Recipe! 

When I visited my Aunt in Punjab sometime ago, she made this amazing Sweet Lassi for us! It was sooooo delicious that it left us licking our lips after every sip! Not to mention it was kind of heavy for our appetite & when it is served in tall brass glass, you can easily skip a meal. I had to get this recipe & wanted her tips & tricks to make that perfect glass of Sweet Lassi to beat the heat this summer!

My aunt began by telling me that even with all the new age gadgets available in kitchen, she prefers making it traditional way – with a Wooden Churner or Madhani! She says no blender can beat the taste of Lassi made with Madhani & I totally have to agree with her on this! If you use a Madhani, then you can in no way over beat/muddle the curd whereas with a blender in a matter of seconds curd can turn into butter, spoiling the Lassi! She also did mention that always use fresh curd made from full fat milk for creamier Lassi. Fresh curd has slight sweetness to it & you can cheat on by adding less sugar. And of course, in Punjab they have to add a dollop of butter or cream on Lassi but I am totally gonna skip it!! Watching those extra calories 😉 Trust me it’s still going to taste super delicious!

You will need:

1/2 Cup Full Fat Milk Curd (Fresh)

3 Tbsp Powdered Sugar or as required

1/2 Cup Chilled Water

4-5 Ice Cubes

Serving: 1 Glass

Steps to Make Authentic Punjabi Sweet Lassi:

1.       In a deep vessel, add curd & churn it with a Wooden Churner/Madhani or even a Muddler until it’s smooth & lumps free. It should take about 1-2 minutes.

2.       Add in powdered sugar & muddle for another 1-2 minutes.

3.       Once sugar is dissolved, add chilled water.

4.       Churn for another 1-2 minutes to get that froth! The more you churn, frothier Lassi will become. But make sure you do not overdo it.

5.       Pop in some Ice Cubes & serve chilled!

Important Pointers:

·         If you don’t have the wooden churner, just add everything in a blender & blend for 1-2 minutes maximum. Do not overbeat it or else curd will turn into butter.

·         We are using powdered sugar because it takes less time to dissolve.

·         Always use fresh curd to make Lassi.

·         Using chilled water will make the frothing process faster.
