Mango Lassi (Indian Mango Yoghurt Drink)

Sweet lassi is the cool counterpoint to a hot, crowded table, and mango is the version that reaches for a ripe Alphonso rather than any other fruit. Thickening it with yogurt rather than cream is what keeps it light and gives it a faint tang under the sweetness. Cardamom on top is a matter of regional habit, and the best versions smell of it before you taste anything else.
