Mango Lassi with Rose Water is a delicious twist on the traditional mango lassi and its flavored with rose water to give it a nice aroma and a very refreshing taste. It is a perfect drink to serve for breakfast or lunch time or for evening snack.
Lassi is a very popular and refreshing yogurt based drink in India, especially in Northern parts of India where it’s made thick and creamy and it’s just the perfect drink to sip on this summer.
What is Lassi?
Lassi is a traditional yogurt based drink made in North India, Punjab and Pakistan. There are many variations, sweet and salty flavors of this Indian drink and it can be made by using seasonal ingredients as well.
I remember in my childhood days, my granny made lassi, and it was churned using a wooden hand whisk and a nice froth would collect on top due to churning it. Still my father made lassi using a wooden hand whisk, I also did but now these days, made with ease of a blender, it’s very easy and quick to make equally delicious lassi within seconds.
What is Mango Lassi?
Mango Lassi Recipe is one such fruity variation where plain yogurt with fresh mango puree. For the mangoes, I personally like to use Alphonso or Kesar mangoes to make mango Lassi. They are full of flavours and gives a lovely color to the drink.
So it’s time to bring out those lassi recipes this summer, there are loads on Indian Lassi recipes to choose from, some of my absolute favorites lassi's are simple
cardamom flavored Mango Lassi,

Vegan Mango Lassi?
I have many vegan friends in my Instagram list, who always asked me for vegan version of my recipes. So I mentioned it here for their help.
To make vegan mango Lassi replace the regular yogurt with coconut or soy yogurt and milk with it’s vegan substitute.
You can also use maple syrup instead of sugar if you wish to.
This rose water flavored mango lassi is made up with yogurt, ripe mango, sugar, rose water and heaps of ice cubes, this easy to make Indian Mango Lassi is a soothing delicacy. The best part is that it takes all of 5 ingredients and 5 minutes to make and you can make a vegan version too.
Hence, in Bangalore it's already summer, and I make sure to keep jarful of fresh cucumber cooler, watermelon slushie, cantaloupe granita, pineapple mint aqua fresca (an mexican drnk), aam panna, sparkling lemon iced tea always ready in the fridge. This Rose flavored Mango Lassi is soothing delight that you must make and sip this season!
This is super easy to make and is liked by everyone without a doubt. Even my toddler also liked it.
