Yesterday was the latest in a long string of sweltering days, and I was in dire need of refreshment. I was craving mango lassi, the Indian yogurt shake. Most Indian restaurants in NYC serve a supersweet version of lassi made with canned mango juice. So, I was expecting the same when I ordered the drink at Hampton Chutney Co. But with my first sip, I noticed an immediate difference: the telltale pulpiness of fresh fruit. The sweetness of the lassi was mostly derived from just-pureed ripe mangos, not sugar. I believe Hampton Chutney Co. may serve the best mango lassi in NYC!

Mango lassi? What is that? It sounds divine, especially on this horrible weekend we've had.

Would also love/appreciate any words of wisdom/advice you had to make mine better.
How was the thickness? Some mango lassi are like milkshakes, others more like milk.
ReplyDeleteThe lassi was definitely on the thicker side, partly because of the pureed fruit.
