Name: Mango Lassi
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups chopped peeled mango (from about 2 1/2 pounds very ripe mangoes); 1/4 cup sugar; 1 quart well-shaken buttermilk; Garnish: lime wedges

In Indian restaurants, lassi is served with the meal, but we frequently find this exotic "smoothie" too filling to accompany a main course and prefer it in place of dessert. Look for the smaller, yellow-skinned mangoes, which have a more pronounced flavor than the larger, red and green ones.

Cooks' note:

·Lassi can be made 6 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
