If you check the Indian foods section of a good international market you'll
find canned mango pulp. Chriag is the brand I find most often here in
Houston. It's quite inexpensive, $3-$4 for a 28 oz can. I pour the contents
of a can into icecube trays and freeze it. Then I store the cubes in a
container in the freezer.

When you want a mango lassi, or mango margarita, etc. you can take out a
cube or two (about 2 tbs each) and pop them with other ingredients in your
blender. Quick, simple, and inexpensive.
