This
is a delicious way to serve yogurt Indian style. After freezing
the mango slices, the drink will be naturally cold. Mangoes
originated in India and now this fragrant fruit is cultivated
all around the world. You may find mangoes in various sizes.
They all have a large, flat seed which must be removed. This is
easily accomplished if you cut the mango almost in half, cutting
around the seed. Then, pull out the seed which will still be
attached to one side of the mango. You can then peel the mango
and slice the golden orange flesh. Look for yellow/orange
mangoes with a red blush. Green mangoes are used in Indian
cooking. In this recipe, look for a ripe mango.
1 fresh ripe mango
1
(6-ounce) custard-style vanilla yogurt
1 cup

3 ice
cubes
1. Peel
and slice the mango. Freeze the slices for a colder drink.

Variation:
You can substitute similar textured fruits, like
peaches.
Substituting various fruit juices can make this drink
very
exotic. Try passion fruit or papaya juices.
