How to Make Mango Lassi – everyone’s favorite creamy, dreamy Indian restaurant classic from an easy, delicious Mango Lassi recipe!
I can’t believe it has taken me this long to share this recipe with you!
Mango lassis are my very, very favorite drink to order at Indian food restaurants and likely one of my favorite beverages OF ALL TIME.
Maybe you haven’t had one of these before and are asking: What is lassi?
Lassi (pronounced [ləsiː]) is a popular, traditional, yogurt-based drink that originated in India. Indian Lassi is a blend of yogurt, water, spices and sometimes fruit.
With such a broad definition, there are many different variations of Lassi, but the Indian Mango Lassi is one of the most popular variants.
It probably doesn’t hurt that mangoes are my favorite fruit OF ALL TIME, but there’s just something that I LOVE about the creamy combination of sweet mangoes and tangy yogurt.
This blended Indian mango drink is cool and refreshing; just what you need when wolfing down some richly spiced Indian food!
I highly recommend whipping up a batch of these mango lassis to go with this Indian Potato & Chickpea Stew recipe.
I also love a mango lassi drink with Indian Chicken Korma, Tomato-Cilantro Chicken, and this recipe for Creamy Cashew Chicken Curry! Don’t forget to plan ahead and make some naan for a truly inspired dinner.
You can also use this easy mango lassi recipe to make fruit smoothies that are perfect for breakfast, too!

I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 less yogurt and froze the mango. Yum! My family loved it!
so great! i used 10oz of full-fat organic pasture-raised raw kefir (Organic Pastures), then added 2oz organic 100% grass-fed half & half (Organic Valley), and the juice of half a lime (to make it more tart!). mango is already sweet like candy, so no sugar added (2 TBS would be way over the top sweet). anyway, a fully organic dessert with no added sugar! it felt so much more luxurious than just eating a chopped up mango and drinking some kefir! won’t do it often since blending does decrease the healthiness of the mango, but for a more-or-less whole-food, unsweetened treat, this is awesome!
Sugar or honey is not needed, the recipe is delicious without it.
Hi, the only thing your recipe is missing is the cardamom, it gives it the distinct flavor that you get when at an Indian restaurant.
So excited to make these! I didn’t realize it was so simple. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe! Also – your glasses are so gorgeous, where did you get them?
Personally I go for the more traditional cardamom powder. I’ll also skip the sugar if the mangos are ripe enough. I completely agree about the deliciousness factor. Frozen mangos work too if you don’t mind it being a bit icy – then the sugar is necessary. It’s my husband’s favorite drink. He would drink a gallon a day if I let him.
Great tips, Rachiti!!
How much cardamom should we use?
Hi John, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground cardamom if you want to add that to this recipe.

I just had this at a restaurant yesterday,so I’m excited to try your recipe. This did a great job of calming the heat of the spicy Indian food we had.
I just love mango lassis and I don’t know why I’ve never made them at home before. So simple! Thanks for the recipe. I can’t wait to do it! Yeah!
Awesome, Liz!!
My husband makes this all the time! He could totally live on lassi! I’m excited to try it with cinnamon!
They are so addictive!!
