Before you start

Chill everything first. Ice thins the drink; cold ingredients keep it thick.
Taste the mango before you add sugar. A good ripe mango may need none at all.

Method

Cut the mango flesh away from the stone and chill it, along with the yogurt and milk.
Blend the mango to a smooth puree on its own first.On its own, so any fibres break down before the yogurt is added.
Add the cold yogurt, milk, sugar and the pinch of salt, and blend briefly.Briefly. Over-blending yogurt makes it thin and frothy.
Taste and adjust the sugar.
Pour into chilled glasses and finish with ground cardamom and a few saffron strands.

Storage

Drink within a few hours. It separates in the fridge; whisk to bring it back. Freezes well as kulfi-style lollies.
