Shrikhand or Amarkhand is made during mango season in India. This yogurt based dessert is my personal favorite when its served chilled during hot summer days.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups greek yogurt (full fat) or strained (homemade)
1 cup mango pulp
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
2 teaspoon finely chopped almonds and pistachios
5/6 saffron strands
PREPARATION
STEP 1
Prepare the homemade yogurt by first tying it tightly in a muslin cloth for 4/5 hours or use store bought greek yogurt. Transfer the thick yogurt in a bowl.
STEP 2
Add mango pulp and the powdered sugar to the yogurt. Add cardamom powder and saffron in the milk and soak it for 5 minutes.
STEP 3
Mix all the ingredients with the help of a beater. Your smooth and creamy Shrikhand is ready.
STEP 4
Decorate it with finely chopped pistachios, almonds and sprinkle saffron threads. Serve chilled.
