The first time I made mango lassi, I was super excited yet equally nervous. Would it taste as good as the ones from my favorite Indian restaurant?

I also learned to be cautious with the cardamom; just a pinch goes a long way! The first batch was surprisingly sweet, so I made a note to adjust the sugar next time.
