Aamrakhand – Mango Shrikhand
This Aamrakhand (Mango Shrikhand) is a creamy and luscious healthy summer treat! All it needs it yogurt and mango along with sugar and saffron for flavor. It’s absolutely delicious and a great dessert to indulge on warm summer days.
Ingredients
- 2 Ataulfo Mexican mangoes
- 1 cup thick greek yogurt
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- pinch of salt
- pinch of saffron
- powdered pistachio for garnish
Instructions
- Double layer the cheesecloth on a colander and pour the yogurt.Without squeezing too much, tie the edges and press it slightly to release someof the excess water. Twist around the edges and place something heavy, like acast iron pan or a motor pestle, on top of the tied cheesecloth
- Leave it aside for 2 hours (you will need more time if the yogurtyou are using has more water content and was not thick enough initially). I like to leave it overnight in the fridge for the best thick hung yogurt texture.
- Once the water is drained out, open the cheese cloth and placethe hung yogurt in a blender along with the mango pulp, powdered sugar, saltand saffron.
- Blend it to form a puree.
- You can serve it right away but leaving it in the refrigeratorfor an hour will allow the consistency to get better. Also, Shrikhand does tastebest when served sold.
