Mango Lassi
This popular Indian drink hardly needs an introduction. Its smooth, creamy texture goes perfectly with Indian food and it is quick and easy to make. Indian mangoes have a very special flavor all their own, and it’s worth going out of your way to find Indian mango purée. You can also substitute mango with your favorite fruits such as bananas or peaches.
