Notes
- This taste best when served immediately.
- You may blend mangoes and strain and refrigerate the puree for a week. Use it when ready.
- I personally blended this lassi in a traditional style and used wooden hand whisk beater to blend it but electric hand blender or immersion blender also works here.
- 1 full fresh mango will make up to 1/2 cup heaped mango chunks.
