Mango Lassi

This recipe is from Jamie Oliver. I found it online at the food network page when looking for a mango lassi recipe.

• 9 ounces plain yogurt
• 4.5 ounces milk
• 4 tsp. sugar
• 4.5 ounces canned mango pulp or 7 ounces from 3 fresh mangos, stoned and sliced

Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend for 2 minutes, then pour into individual glasses, and serve. The lassi can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Serves four.

I didn’t quite have the ingredients so this is what I ended up making:

• 9 ounces organic Stonyfield nonfat vanilla yogurt
• 4.5 ounces unsweetened soy milk
• 7 ounces frozen mango pieces from Trader Joe’s
• 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom

I’ve never had a mango lassi so I’m not sure what it was supposed to taste like, but I thought it was tasty. My friend’s said it tasted right, but was thicker than usual (probably because I used the frozen mango). Personally, I couldn’t taste the soy milk or the cardamom, and I thought it could have used more mango.
