New Delhi: Mango Lassi, the popular dairy beverage from North India during summer, has been bestowed with the title of the best dairy beverage in the world by the popular food and travel guide TasteAtlas in the 2023-24 awards. For the uninitiated, Mango Lassi is a refreshing blend of dahi and fresh mango together with cardamom, water, and sugar. Some people like to add soaked saffron strands to the recipe to turn it into Kesar Mango Lassi.
Needless to mention that social media is elated. In the comments section of TasteAtlas’ award announcement post, one social media user hailed it as “Lassi supremacy,” while another added that Mango Lassi is “the best of the best.” As the taste of this lassi can vary based on the mango variety chosen, a social media user expressed that the “best one is made of Alphonso.”
Reading about this delectable Indian beverage, a user mentioned, “missing India and Indian delicious food and beverages so much.” The comments section serves as proof that Mango Lassi is loved by people all around the world. A Mango Lassi fan wrote, “I’m not even Indian, but I have Indian friends, and I always ask for this.” A teacher from Brazil shared the delightful experience of preparing various lassi flavors. “I was teaching about India to my students (we’re Brazilian), and there was this recipe. We decided to make it, and then we used the lassi for other combinations. Banana lassi, strawberry lassi… so good!”
