Method

Peel and chop the mango flesh, making sure to use ripe, fragrant mangoes for the best flavor.
Add the mango, yogurt, milk, water, sugar or jaggery, cardamom seeds, and a pinch of salt to a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy, then taste and adjust the sweetness or thickness as needed.
Add the ice cubes and blend briefly again, or chill the lassi in the refrigerator if you prefer to serve it without dilution.
Pour into tall glasses, garnish with pistachios and saffron if using, and serve immediately.
