Mango Lassi

About ten 1/2 -cup servings

Uma Anandakrishnan of Ellicott City serves this drink at the beginning of the meal. She has experimented over the years to find the right recipe; this is her version, one that she says is exceptionally smooth and creamy. She also makes it as a special snack at her children's school. You can make this the night before the party.

2 cups plain yogurt (do not use low-fat or nonfat), such as Stonyfield Farm brand

2 cups canned mango pulp, such as Ratna brand

2 to 3 teaspoons sugar

About 1 cup ice cubes or crushed ice
