    Hi. I have tried fresh Australian and fresh mangos from peru. I have also tried alphonso and kesar mango pulp. The mango neutralises the yoghurt taste and the yoghurt neutralises the mango taste. The best outcome is a faint taste of each. Any advice? Thanks.

    Hi Manjula,
    Wonderful recipes, may i ask what can i use instead of yogurt, as i require dairy free.

    Thank you,

    Thomas.

      There are non dairy yogurts and milks you could try. A coconut yogurt would probably work well.

    Hi, I love Mango Lassi. I have made it three times, the first time I made it, I added a bit too much cardamom, but my husband and I love Cardamom, so it wasn’t a big deal.
    The last two times were disastrous. I had made it exactly the same, same amount of yogurt and mangos but it was very tart. I added sugar and kept adding it to see if it would even out the taste but it didn’t work. I added more milk but it was just too tart so I ended up tossing it. Pretty much the same thing when it came to the last batch I made, too tart, luckily my husband was able to salvage that one and it was fine, but still didn’t taste as delicious as the first time I made it, what am I doing wrong? Can you help me please?

      Try yogurt before using sometime it can very sour it means that yogurt not to be used. If mango is little sour that will work, if both are very sour will be disaster.

    Mango Lassi is cooling and helps to soothe any burning hot days,
    but I also like the idea of strawberries and peaches, would mango work as an alternative. Mango is sweet and would be good with summer berries; strawberries.

    Thank you Manjula for your wonderful videos and vegetarian recipies!

    I love Mango Lassi, but a while ago i came across an other yoghurt beverage (in an indian restaurant in sweden)… it had lime in it and maybe some mint. It wasnt as thick as the Lassi and was very refreshing. Do you know what im talking about? What is it called and how can i make it at home?

    thank you again and keep up your good work! we appreciate it very much!

      Hi Nikhita,
      Did you get a response regarding replacing fresh mangoes with mango pulp? If yes, what did manjula did say? how much mango pulp with yogurt needs to be used for mango lassi?

        Manjula Jain
        September 7, 2009 at 7:43 pm

        Hello Divya,
        Half mango pulp and half yogurt should work, but it depends on the pulp you are using experiment.

    Hi Manjula aunty! Just wanted to appreciate your wonderful piece of work. I have tried couple recipes and all of them have turned to great! awesome proportions!!!

    Also wanted to know if you have a recipe for curds(yogurt) from scratch? I do culture it everynight, but wanted to know how to prepare it in the first place so I dont go asking my friends for the culture all the time if something happens to my culture!!

    I have very basic idea, that its done using lime or tamarind, but dont the exact method. Can you please share/ post it? Thanks and great job again!!

    This is fantastic–thank you!! I am now addicted to these. I slightly prefer the fresh mango (not surprising), but canned does work great, and it’s the mint that was the real revelation- a great way to use my garden mint!
