Notes: This recipe excludes the sugar in the original recipe. Ingredient Recommendation- Mangoes come in multiple varieties. Ataulfo and Francis are very sweet and perfect for this recipe. However they are seasonal and generally available during the summer. If you can’t find these mangoes, use any other variety and add a few teaspoons of sugar to sweeten to taste. Storage Note- Lassi can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
