- 450g/1lb tinned mango pulp (buy in the world food aisles of most supermarkets or Asian shops, or make your own using fresh mangoes)
- 6 large mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 lime, juice and zest
- 200ml/7fl oz unsweetened almond milk
- 150g/5½oz rolled porridge oats (not the jumbo ones)

Method for Mango lime lassi bircher
-
Dry fry the flaked almonds in a small frying pan over a medium–high heat. Toss them around until golden brown, then set aside in a bowl and leave to cool.
-
Put the mango pulp, mint, lime juice and zest into a large bowl that fits in the fridge. Pour in the almond milk, add half of the toasted almonds and stir well.
-
Add the oats and mix well again, making sure the oats are covered. Cover and pop into the fridge overnight, ready for breakfast in the morning.
-
Next morning, take the bowl out of the fridge – the oats will have doubled in volume, as they will have soaked up all the excess moisture of the mango.
-
Make the topping by mixing the chopped mango and mint together. Serve in small bowls or jam jars, top with the mango, and sprinkle with the remaining toasted flaked almonds.
