Mango Lassi

A refreshing drink made with yogurt and mango.
Mango Lassi is most commonly found in India and Pakistan. One glass of mango lassi on a summer day is a bliss. However , I am sure many of you would agree , it tastes the best if made of Indian mangoes rather than these mexican mangoes or other types we find here in US. Nothing like Indian mangoes.
