Instructions
First bloom the saffron in a small bowl by adding it to around 1 tbsp of water. This allows the colours and flavours to release.
Prepare the mango by removing the skin and seed. Cut the flesh into large chunks. Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and discard the husks.
Add the bloomed saffron, mango chunks, cardamom seeds, milk, yogurt and sugar to a blender jug. If your mangos are particularly sweet you may wish to omit the sweetener or use a small amount only.
Blend the mango mixture until it is smooth and creamy. At this point you can taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness level to your liking.
Pour the mango lassi mixture into a container and add the chia seeds. Stir this well, ensuring that each chia seed is coated in the liquid.
Refrigerate the mango lassi chia pudding for at least 2 hours or until set. Serve with your favourite toppings.
