Mango Lassi

Submitted by Katzen

"This cooling drink is popular in India. It can be made with a variety of fruit (or no fruit at all), but always contains yogurt and water. This version also contains cardamom. American versions are often sweeter than their Indian counterparts. We chose to go the less sweet route here. Found on Chowhound."

A nice thick lassi! I did add just a little almond milk to thin out because I used Greek yogurt, which is thicker than regular yogurt. I didn't have ground cardamom, so cracked open a cardamom pod. Because of that, it was a little strong, so suggest using ground cardamom. Overall, very good! Thanks! Made for the Vegetarian Swap May 2011.
