If you are using pulp instead of mango then try to get Alphonso mango pulp.
You can keep the consistency as you like by adding more or less ice cubes
If the yogurt you are using is sour add small amount of milk and additional sugar to correct it.
If you are using vanilla yogurt be careful with sugar as some vanilla yogurt may contain sugar.
