See... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lassi When the mango season is in I lay down a lot of mango in my freezer. Enough to last until the next season. This last year I have been making what I call a 'mango lassi'. I take a frozen packet of mango and put on a blender with a large tub of natural yoghurt. After blending I add a little water and start drinking! It usually lasts three or four days. Yummy. From wikipedia I see that I can add ground pistachio nuts sprinkled on top. Sounds good. I wonder what the Bhang Lassi tastes like? ooroo If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door. Anon.

It is indeed'yummy' and a wonderful summer drink. How do you freeze mangoes please ? Do you need to peel and slice ..... pulp perhaps ? Sally
