In the series

A cold mango lassi opening the meal at Soam is a small, correct piece of hospitality — it's the traditional way to start a meal in much of India, cooling the palate before the spice and acidity of the pani puri and chutneys that follow.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups ripe mango pulp
1 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
Pinch ground cardamom
Ice, to serve

Method

Blend the mango pulp, yogurt, milk, sugar, and cardamom until completely smooth.
Taste and adjust sweetness depending on how ripe and sweet the mango already is.
Pour over ice and serve immediately.
