Best Roasted Mango Or Banana Lassi Recipes
ROASTED MANGO OR BANANA LASSI
Like other South Floridians, the chef Niven Patel of Ghee Indian Kitchen in Miami has access to fresh, locally grown, exceptionally flavorful varieties of bananas and mangoes he can ripen to perfection. Elsewhere in the country, that's not the case: In fact, Mr. Patel said, most Indian restaurants use a canned ripe Indian mango purée to remedy that problem. But by roasting the mangoes or bananas first with sugar and warm spices, you can get good flavor from fruit of any quality or ripeness. Mr. Patel makes his own yogurt, which gives this lassi a complex tartness that balances the sweet spiced fruit, but a very good-quality regular plain yogurt (as in not strained or Greek) is a fine stand-in. The mango yields a slightly thicker lassi than the banana; if you'd like, add a little extra milk to thin it out, tasting as you go to make sure you don't dilute the flavor.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Put the fruit in a small ovenproof skillet or baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar, then add vanilla bean seeds and pod, and the cardamom pod, stirring so the fruit is coated with sugar.
- Roast the fruit until soft, stirring every 5 minutes, until most - but not all - of the liquid the fruit releases has evaporated and begins to bubble and thicken, about 25 to 30 minutes for the bananas and 40 minutes for the mangoes. (If you let them cook too long, the sugar mixture will stick to the pan.) Discard vanilla bean and cardamom, and let the fruit cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled. This step can be done several hours or the day before.
- Measure out 3/4 cup of the chilled roasted fruit. (You may have a little left over, depending on the size of the fruit you started with.) In a blender, combine the roasted fruit with yogurt, milk and ice. Process just until smooth, scraping down the sides of the pitcher once or twice, and serve immediately.

MANGO LASSI - SIMPLEST & QUICKEST
When you enjoy what you like, you should find out how it's made and help spread the word to people who might not have had the chance to try! I read over the others here on Recipezaar site and thought what was needed is a simple, effective one for everyone's busy lifestyle. A couple of thoughts: - The main thing for this recipe is the 2:1:1 ratio. If you want to increase or decrease it due to your available ingredients (or if you don't have measuring instruments), just use that proportion with whatever container you have handy. In my case, due to the size of my blender, I made four smaller batches and poured into a one gallon jug to take to a get-together. - Some of the other recipes added sugar or sweetener, I found that with the type of canned pulp that I purchased, it was already sufficiently sweet that no additional sugar needed to be added. You may want to taste your batch and adjust to your liking if you can not get the sweetened variety. - Do I need to say that the Yogurt should be fresh? If it is not, there is a chance that if it is sour or flavored, the taste will come out quite different. Who knows, maybe it'll be to your preference! - If you want your to be more exotic, you can add more cardamom (but not too much to overpower the mango flavor) or add rose water. - Fresh mangoes versus canned - depends if you want to take the risk of finding non-fibrous or stringy mangoes and ones that are just ripe. If you want to make this quick and easy, go with uniform quality of the canned. This will also free you to being able to make the dish any time of the year! - Obviously you can also freeze and make popsicles if you have the appropriate paraphernalia. This could be a sneaky way for it to become a kid-pleaser. Another variation is to add cut up pieces of fruit and have a fruit salad dessert with the mango lassi as the base. Some people like it with bananas, others with strawberries (like my wife), or you can go pineapple, apples, mandarins, etc. Enjoy!

BANANA LASSI
Who doesn't like a mango lassi, right? But when you don't have good fresh mangos or can't find mango puree, why not try a banana lassi? I ordered 2 in a restaurant in Udaipur because they were so good and it was because they had no mangos at the time -- what a find!
