Notes:

• Use fresh curd for better taste.
• You can skip cardamom too and make it as complete mango flavor.
• Depends on how thick or thin you want, adjust the quantity of curd.
• Based on mango sweetness, adjust the sugar quantity.
• Refrigerate mango lassi and serve chilled.
• Instead of sugar, you can use honey or any of your favorite sweetener.
• I have used pistachio for garnishing.
